Greetings Marcel,

first, let me thank you for this great software!
But I would like to ask if you ever plan to add support for unicode encoding.

Thanks!

Hi Ondrej,

Unicode is not scheduled. For exactly what parts would you like to use it?

Sometimes we receive DICOM files from other hospitals with accents in PatientName and this names are stored in DB with wrong characters. Query from DB is almost unreadable for this PatientNames.
I tried to use luascript to remove this accents from PatientName, but Data.PatientName contains wrong characters too and i cannot do anything.

Hi,

you can try to modify the code page of the database server. Conquest does not interpret the strings as such, but passes it straight to the database driver.

No, this not help.
I will try make some other changes in my MS SQL server, but i dont think that it help. If Conquest cannot read it correctly, than cannot insert to DB correctly.
But, i have aprox 2 studies in month with this CZECH characters in name and this is not a big deal

Again thank you, because your server is amazing piece of software!

Hi,

it is an issue with the codepage, the zcech files are in Latin-2, while the rest of the server uses Latin-1 (west europe). You can try to change the code page of the server to Latin-2 (central europe). This affects characters about 80 (hex).

So at the moment, there is no way to use dgate on a utf-8 database. Am I right?
