   Just an idea, not sure if it works..........   
   If unicode table was on sql server it might be possible to write sql   
      
   select   
      cast(fieldname1 as varchar(30)) as fieldnameInResult   
   from   
    tbl   
      
   Use sql and submit it as passthrough sql to the sql server,   
   and then use "cast" to return nvarchar(unicode) as varchar,   
   a datatype that pdox can actually handle.
