I have an app that emits XML as 8859-1 (or other encoding as needed), and the XML is sent to an Oracle database where the XML is unpacked and the contents used to update an existing schema.
I apparently fail to understand something about how char encodings work at the intersection of XML and Oracle. If I send: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?> <MSG> ... <LAST_NAME>BOLA<C3><C9>OS</LAST_NAME> ... </MSG> the two accented characters are each transformed into 0xBF. (with exactly the same result if it's 8859-1 instead of WINDOWS-1252.) however, if I send: <LAST_NAME>BOLAÃ ÉOS</LAST_NAME> I get the desired result. While I'm working on figuring out what I'm doing wrong regarding Oracle, is there some way I can force libxml2 to emit the second form rather than the first? the tree is output using: xmlDocDumpFormatMemoryEnc (doc, xmlbufptr, &xmlbufptr_size, "WINDOWS-1252", 1); thanks!
