A_MSSQL_TRANSLATE_TO_ANSI

Setting this variable to True (on, yes) causes Database Connectors to call the same translation function used by the Windows run time to translate characters going to the server into the OEM character set, and to translate characters coming from the server to ANSI.

The default is False (off, no), which indicates that Database Connectors does not call the translation function, but passes the data as is to the library.
