:Hi Richard, the correct parameter for proper MSSQL-UTF8 connections is: $CFG->dbtype = 'mssql_n', going to insert that somewhere in the page. Thanks! [[User:Eloy Lafuente (stronk7)|Eloy Lafuente (stronk7)]] 12:40, 19 June 2008 (CDT)

Revision as of 17:40, 19 June 2008

Are the ODBTP instructions for ODBTP.conf incorrect? According to moodle forum[1], the ODBTP.conf must point to the host of the ODBTP service, not the MSSQL server.

I can only verify this for Windows, no idea about unix.

Hi Ben, I've updated the documentation. All my tests were/are with both the ODBTP service + the MSSQL server in the same host so I never had that problem. Thanks for pointing to it! Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 09:50, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
