Would this work, too? James, Either should work, if you're using the latest version of Connector/J, however 'utf-8' is the 'Java' encoding name, which is more correct. > What is > > Connection utf8Conn = getConnectionWithProps(props); > > in your test code? That doesn't look like a standard JDBC method. The Junit tests in our testsuite build off a base testcase...getConnectionWithProps(Properties) is a method in this base class that uses the 'standard' URL of our testsuite in combination with the given properties to create a connection. This facilitates having a common URL, but the ability to test cases when various properties (characterEncoding, autoReconnect, etc) affect how the driver behaves. -Mark - -- Mr. Mark Matthews MySQL AB, Software Development Manager, J2EE and Windows Platforms Office: +1 708 332 0507 www.mysql.com MySQL Guide to Lower TCO http://www.mysql.com/it-resources/white-papers/tco.php -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAvhw+tvXNTca6JD8RAmpuAJsFnIKqZmPhKHBahGidGvRODQSQjwCfYEXs 6RB/NbXSM+UcGLbYfuvAupw= =40ie -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
