Well, without seeing what your code is doing its hard to say, the driver 
manager is only involved if you call W functions to a driver that 
doesn't support them, or non W to a driver that only supports them. If 
you are using Oracles gateway, I know there are some (IMHO) "broken" 
versions that pass UTF-8 into the W functions, but that would fail with 
any query. I suspect its passing UTF-8 into the ansi functions and 
freetds needs to be lold how to convert that to SQL Server UTC-2. At 
least thats what our (Easysoft's) driver does at that point.
