Thanks in advance July 17, 2006 at 7:17 am #254873 Reply Haris PecoMember ajoysinha , I suppose that you have non-default encoding in database Try add encoding properties in URL, for example jdbc:mysql://<YOUR_HOST>:<YOUR_PORT>/<YOUR_DATABASE>?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8 This is for UTF-8, but you can see complete syntax on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/cj-configuration-properties.html Best regards Peco Author Posts Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) Reply To: getting error when connecting to My SQL database server You must be logged in to post in the forum log in
