hi there...

to connect to the database that supports special caracter such as "?", "?",
"?", etc ... the one i'm using doesn?t support them and messes up the words
... anyone knows where i can find it ...
thks in advance ...
cheers

What makes you think it is the driver that is screwing it up ?
I'd be inclined to suggest that your application code may have a problem at
the very least (there are more possibilities that are more probable that the
driver being the cause).
Can you verify that it is the driver ?

hi there once again ...
i can verify that is the driver because java prints the information well,
if i insert it into the database from the command prompt it recognizes the
characters well, so the only thing in the middle here is the driver ... so i
concluded that the driver is screwing up the text when the special chars
appear ...
thks ...

first??confirm the MySql Driver is valid for the MySql server
from www.mysql.com
then you can try connector-url like
jdbc:mysql://hostname:3306/test?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=yourEncodi

I solved that problem by using the MySQL connector drivers and
setting content type to iso-8859-1 using the JSP page directive.
I had problems with the mm.mysql.. driver.
