Many thanks! I had downloaded V4.1.1 and created a database in utf8 character set. I successfully created a table and inserted rows of data with VARCHAR columns into the table through the SQL pad. With the Control Center GUI, I can see the result. It seems the data in the table are right. I can see the multiple byte characters in the varchar columns. However, when my application selected data through JDBC, the returned strings are wrong. Looks the returned strings are not in the right character set. Could some one tell me what mistakes I had made?

That's "4.1.1" -- time to upgrade. :-) HTH! -- Hassan Schroeder ----------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webtuitive Design === (+1) 408-938-0567 === http://webtuitive.com dream. code. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
