Re: Encoding conversion problem

I've made another test: I've exported the content of the table with

characters in ISO-8859-1 and Java
- reads garbage with DB2 configured with IBM850 and JVM ISO-8859-1
- reads correctly with both DB2 and JVM configured with ISO-8859-1

I understand the first behavior but the last point is strange... Java
(with some "magic" :-) is doing the proper conversion if the db is
iso-8859-1 but I can't understand how... I will test it again and let
you know if I find something.

Thanks again everyone!

I'm guessing, but maybe if the databse tells the JDBC driver it's
ISO-8859-1 *and* your application tells it the same encoding, it won't
bother trying to transform anything...
