Encoding problems

[Alexandre Machado]

Issue must rise from database component which is still based on BDE. It works on normal vcl apps but probably outputs string as ansistrings still.

I'll give you one main recommendation: Get rid of BDE. BDE has been long dead. It is not intended to be used any more specially in a web application.

It is not that hard to replace it by other DB layer. Even ADO works much much better than BDE. 

If you are writing a web application don't ever use BDE
