dbExpress, Interbase 2007 and Unicode - "all or nothing" ?

[Michael Justin]

Is it possible to use dbExpress to access tables in InterBase 2007 where
some columns use Win1252 encoding and some Unicode?

Unfortunately we have to start this project now, so Delphi 2008 would be
released too late...

Hi Michael,

It is my understanding that on Delphi 2007 dbExpress is already Unicode
enabled.

A quick search on the web can give you details.

Ok, but how can I configure the dbExpress TSQLConnection so that one
TSQLQuery can both contain Unicode (UTF-8) WideString fields and
non-Unicode Win1252 encoded String fields?

Will I need two TSQLConnections to display and edit one database table ?
