[gdal-dev] MSSQL Spatial and UTF-8

Hi,

I'm trying to import a shapefile via ogr2ogr into a SQL Server 2008 DB. When
looking at the created table I realised that some columns have some ugly
columnnames. Same to the strings in the data of this table. The problem is
caused by some special characters (german umlauts) in the dataset. 

Using ogr2ogr with other drivers (ex. SQLite, PostGIS) to import this
shapefile works as expected so that I think it is a problem with the "MSSQL
Spatial"-driver.

Is there any driver related setting I can make to force UTF-8 import into
SQL Server?

Thanks, Gunter
