Does Kodi limit database identifiers to ASCII? - fbacher - 2022-12-11
I'm looking at the xbmc/dbwrapper code for uses of tolower, etc. I see that str_tolower is used to 'normalize' field/column names so they can be used as a key to a table. There can be issues if non-ASCII is used. Even with ASCII, if the current "C" locale is, say, tr_TR, then it won't work for the letter "I", or at least not work as expected.
It seems that sqlite allows unicode for identifiers. Even if Kodi itself doesn't use non-ASCII, can some addon do this?
In the mean time I'll do some testing.
