Now, going between one of the Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32) and an 8-bit encoding could be detectable by finding a character that is not in any 8-bit code page and comparing it to ? / CHAR(63), and if they match, then you are no longer using a Unicode encoding. You only see the xC2 in Notepad++ because that is the byte value of that character, yet that, by itself, is not a valid UTF-8 or UTF-16 / UCS-2 byte sequence, so Notepad++ shows you just the byte by itself. In the case of Â, you can't detect a difference since there is no difference. One encoding may certainly display a different "character" than another encoding for the same byte, or byte-sequence (depending on the encoding), but technically, bytes are bytes and all bytes are valid. What we see on the screen is just an interpretation of those bytes. This is just the unfortunately complicated nature of text encoding, especially non-Unicode encodings. So, how can I be sure, that when the user press F5, all script is encoded with ANSI, the same way we sent it, without these strange characters? Select CHAR(ASCII('ã')) As Teste_CHAR, CHAR(227) as Teste_CHAR_ASCII I was trying to think something like this on the first row of the script with a case when asci character = the ascii(character) then ok else ERROR ( using ascii to test ): Select CHAR(ASCII('ã')) As Teste_CHAR, CHAR(227) as Teste_CHAR_ASCIIĮlse 'Script will not run. So, how can I be sure, that when the user press F5, all script is encoded with ANSI, the same way we sent it, without these strange characters? Can we only achieve this with the right collate for the database? Not even DBAs that are paid to do this, will do this ( I'm a DBA and I for sure read all scripts all the time ). We know users don't see this, they will not read the entire script to be sure everything is ok. If our client just copies this script into some tool that is using a different encoding ( really, I don't know why, but some users do this, and I know for sure it's not to find errors), this  will be transformed into a:, but since our script has thousands of rows, nobody will notice this at the client side. Then, we have inside our script a  character. ![]() Let's say we created a script using Notepad++ ( programmers code for SQL and ORACLE at the same time ), and we save it with Encode in ANSI : How can I be sure that a script ( with thousands of lines ) is running with ANSI encoding? For example, when I was writing a plain text file in UTF-8 encoding for Notepad, I used jEdit to add a byte order mark and to convert line breaks to PC format.Īccording to Wikipedia, TextEdit was first developed for OpenStep and NEXTSTEP.Maybe this is a stupid question or I'm asking it in the wrong way. You still might want to keep a more powerful text editor around on your Mac for more advanced functions. One of the more interesting encodings supported is non-lossy ASCII which converts non-ASCII characters to octal or Unicode hexadecimal escapes (great for Java sourcecodes). Default encodings for open and save can be specified. A plethora of character encodings are supported for open and save. Unlike Notepad, however, TextEdit supports multiple undo and redo. When in plain text mode, the user interface loses the toolbar and ruler, and becomes as simple as Notepad's user interface. More powerful features are available via the menu bar which has short and well-organized menus (Edit menu is the longest with only 13 items, not counting separators). In rich text mode, the user interface includes a simple toolbar and a ruler that can be hidden. Documents can also be printed, saved as PDF, faxed, or spoken by the computer using Apple's built-in Text to Speech (aka "Synthesized Speech") engine. TextEdit can open Word, RTF, SimpleText, HTML and plain text files, and it can save in RTF, Word, or plain text formats. There is drag and drop support for images and text. Spellings that don't match the dictionary being used will be underlined with a red dotted line, like in MS Word. The program has a very simple user interface, it's fast and responsive, yet it's also full of features. A new or opened document can be converted between plain text and rich text via the Format menu, and the user interface will change accordingly. TextEdit is Apple's default text editor-and- word processor-in-one app for Mac OS X 10.3 ("Panther").
