[Mono-dev] Maybe a System.Data.OracleClient.dll bug

[Daniel Morgan]

Yeah, I tried looking at it the other day, but I have
no idea how to test unicode stuff.

Maybe eno on GimpNet IRC #mono can help you.  He may
not be able to help with Oracle, but he knows unicode
very well.  jonp is another good person to to talk to.

If possible, write a Windows.Forms application with a
rich text box or a Gtk# application with a TextView
and output your result there.  This is so unicode
characters will show up for you.  

When looking at the output in a MS DOS Command Prompt,
all I get is ? (question marks) as well.

Also, Oracle SQL Developer is a good oracle GUI tool
which is free to download and use.  It uses JDK 1.5
(JRE 1.5 will not work).  This tool shows the unicode
characters.
