In my case also I failed to set the charset to Shift-JIS though I put some stuff in my *my.cnf.* So I am now controlling the entire thing using my application. my charset is still latin1. I just get the input string from the user, convert it to a binary and store it in mysql. To display back I use vice versa.
You can use a bean component to do this job. In case if you dont get this, mail me and I will send you my bean that you can use in your program regards KayambooSuresh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Luckett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 9:58 PM Subject: Entering Japanese characters into mySQL > hello, > > I'm new to this mailing list and am having trouble with mySQL and > japanese characters. > > I have a web form in Netscape that the user enters japanese text > (hiraghani). the data is posted to a dbinsert.jsp page. the problem is > that somewhere along the line the character set transforms into > half-width katakana (usually a language used for non-japanese origin > words - i.e English or Computer). > > I am using JSP and Tomcat with Apache on Mac OSX.
