 {\bf UNICODE with wxODBC classes}
 
-The ODBC classes support for Unicode is yet in early experimental stage and
-hasn't been tested extensively. It might work for you or it might not: please
-report the bugs/problems you have encountered in the latter case.
+As of v2.6 of wxWidgets, the wxODBC classes now fully support the compilation 
+and use of the classes in a Unicode build of wxWidgets, assuming the compiler 
+and OS on which the program will be compiled/run is Unicode capable.
+
+The one major difference in writing code that can be compiled in either 
+unicode or non-unicode builds that is specific to the wxODBC classes is to 
+use the SQL\_C\_WXCHAR datatype for string columns rather than SQL\_C\_CHAR or 
+SQL\_C\_WCHAR.
