| Aug 22, 2018 at 19:50 | comment | added | mathewb | I think I'm making sense of this. 1) What I really need to establish with the provider is what encoding (or for me coming from SQL Server, what collation) the text in the file is using. 2) When I say ASCII in my question, I am probably being unnecessarily narrow, and perhaps not even accurate, and what I really should be saying is single-byte encoding. (And this gets answered by answering the first issue.) | |
