3.4.1 Compiling Applications (for Windows)

Refer to the manual for the programming language corresponding to the ODBC interface, i.e. Access, Excel, or Visual Basic, for example.

Note

The cl command expects input to be a program that uses one of the following code pages, so convert the program to these code pages and then compile and link it (refer to the Microsoft documentation for details).

ANSI console code pages (example: Shift-JIS for Japanese)
UTF-16 little-endian with or without BOM (Byte Order Mark)
UTF-16 big-endian with or without BOM
UTF-8 with BOM

The cl command converts strings in a program to an ANSI console code page before generating a module, so the data sent to and received from the database server becomes an ANSI console code page. Therefore, set the coding system corresponding to the ANSI console code page as the coding system of the client.

Refer to "Character Set Support" in "Server Administration" in the PostgreSQL Documentation for information on how to set the client encoding system.
(Example: To use environment variables in Japanese, set SJIS in PGCLIENTENCODING.)
