The follwoing select statement executed wiith QSqlQuery:

"SELECT 'ÄÖÜäöüߧ' FROM dual"

returns thge result:

???????

After some debugging in the Qt source, it seems, unicode mode in the Qt SQL ODBC driver plugin isn't detected right. In QODBCDriverPrivate::checkUnicode() the member variable 'unicode' isn't set to true. If I set this variable with the debuger to true the query returns the right result: 'ÄÖÜäöüߧ'

My ODBC connection string:

DSN=TEST;DBQ=XE ;DBA=W;APA=T;EXC=F;FEN=T;QTO=T;FRC=10;FDL=10;LOB=T;RST=T;BTD=F;BNF=F;BAM=IfAllSuccessful;NUM=NLS;DPM=F;MTS=T;MDI=F;CSR=F;FWC=T;FBS=64000;TLO=O;MLD=0;ODA=F;TSZ=8192;

I trie FWC (force wide character) with true or fals but this changes nothing.
