# 4370 IMPORT TABLE/EXPORT TABLE Statements Not Setting Encoding Correctly for ENCODING AUTO

For some unknown reason, I'm not able to export a table with the EBD Manager build in export function and its encoding setting of Auto. The description states, that it will use the encoding of the DB if it is set to Auto, but this seems not to be true. My Database/Session is setup as ANSI, but an export does still genarate a unicode file. So I'm forced to set the encoding manually to ANSI, which will work fine.

The manual states that it will use the encoding of the *engine*, but now that there's the Unicode/ANSI character set selection per session (as of 2.15), this is a little less clear.

In general, how it worked is that ElevateDB would use Unicode if the compiler was Unicode, and Ansi if the compiler was Ansi. The EDB Manager is/was compiled with a Unicode compiler, so the EDB Manager defaulted to using Unicode when ENCODING AUTO was used.

Now, ElevateDB always uses the character set setting of the session (for local sessions) and the EDB Server (for remote sessions) when ENCODING AUTO is used for the IMPORT/EXPORT TABLE statements.
