Hi fellows, Thanks for your help. Finally I have the data in the table. But I lost these special Characters( à ? å ä ); Which when I imported from the text file, they existed. But I can't find them now by Select statement. Should I use Character encoding if so, then how? I am using Java with MySQL.. Please help with your kind and valuable suggestions...
