Special characters and RODBC
问题 in a database I have strings stored that contain special characters such as "§". Using the command sqlQuery() from package RODBC "§" is translated to "?". This is also the case for characters such as " ' " as it can be found in French words. Of course I can not replace every "?" by one of the special characters after the query. Does anybody have an idea for this problem? I work under windows 7. As requested the out put of sessionInfo() R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32
