hello ken, thanks for the reply, but when I typed "mysql" I meant it without the "d". I'm using the client for lots of batch i/o, little utilities and quick maintenance. I'm using it on quite a couple of systems (linux in all flavors and FreeBSD), but only on one of this systems it shows this misbehaviour with not accepting umlauts.
