I would think the above is a clue.

Are you sure the value you are passing to the parameter is UTF8?

Positive.

This is what the following line should be doing:

[code]
57 strcpy( values[0], m_pimpl->m_myconv.to_bytes(
name.c_str() ).c_str() );
[/code]

Those are the values from gdb:

Re: Why that query fails?

When in doubt, run the query interactively.

Re: Why that query fails?

You are using binary format, but your length calculation is wrong:

int len1 = (int) name.length() * sizeof( wchar_t );

Just use text format for a query like this.

I think the actual problem is that he's trying to send an array
of wchar_t to the server. That is not bit-compatible with UTF-8,
even though they are both representations of Unicode. The query
string itself has the same problem I think (I believe the L"..."
syntax in C produces an array of wchar_t).
