Hi All,

We are using a unicode Oracle database and now planning to create a version that supports a non-unicode Oracle database using IdeaBlade Devforce. I would like to ask if what would be the impact of it if we are going to do this. What type of changes we would need to do or look out for when implementing this. Will it affect the EntityQuery and parameterized queries. Do we need to recreate our orm file. 

Thanks,
ev

Hi ev;

We don't think that you need to regen the orm but it wouldn't hurt to do it. In memory, strings in .NET are Unicode so the EntityQuery arguments will default to Unicode, which may have performance implications. If so, you can implement a custom ProviderHelper to map string parameters to AnsiStrings.
