[fdo-users] KingOracle Provider and Linux

[Riccardo Pucci]

Yes the issue is unicode because the different implementation of wchar_t 
type between windows and linux, there is also a minor issue with the log 
api (the global variable g_LogFileName is not resolved at runtime...).
Do you know the strategy used to solve the problem? I used the OCI 
Funcions OCIWideCharToMultiByte and vice versa to make string 
translation, but I have introduced some memory leaks that I should 
solve.. Maybe there is a better way to solve the issue.
