[mapguide-users] Centos Mapguide 2.6 Oracle provider missing

[Riccardo Pucci]

I'm pretty sure is Linux-wide. It depends on sizeof wchar_t which is 
compiler specific: on Windows (visual c++) is 2 byte while on Linux 
(gcc) 4 byte.
When Haris switched from UTF-8 to UTF-16 charset to perform oracle 
connection, used wchar_t to pass/retrieve string to oracle. In windows 
it's ok because UTF-16 and wchar_t have the same size, in Linux a 
shrink/deflate should be performed each time there's need to copy data 
from/to wchar_t array to/from the UTF-16 array, as some OCI wrapper 
does.  (OCILIB for example).
I tried in the past to modify the provider in a such way, but I never 
been able to have a fully functional provider, and finally I gave up.
