setSendStringParametersAsUnicode Method (SQLServerDataSource)

[!INCLUDEDriver_JDBC_Download]

Sets a boolean value that indicates if sending string parameters to the server in UNICODE format is enabled.

Syntax

  
public void setSendStringParametersAsUnicode(boolean sendStringParametersAsUnicode)  

Parameters

sendStringParametersAsUnicode

true if string parameters are sent to the server in UNICODE format. Otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the sendStringParametersAsUnicode property is set to true, which is the default value, string parameters are sent to the server in UNICODE format. If sendStringParametersAsUnicode is set to false string parameters are sent to the server in an ASCII/MBCS format, not in UNICODE. If sendStringParametersAsUnicode is not set, getSendStringParametersAsUnicode returns the default value of true.

For more information about the sendStringParametersAsUnicode connection property, see Setting the Connection Properties.
