Hi I was working with mysql 3.23.41 on linux. I was able to store and retrieve japanese characters from the db using java code. I am using Shift_JIS encoding.
yesterday I took a dump of my database and restored it in another linux machine having mysql 3.23.38. But now my code is outputting only ???? marks on the browser. please tell me how to beat this thing. I heard a piece of info that I can do something in the /etc/my.cnf file to solve this. Is it correct. btw when i did mysql> show variables I got this among the other output. | character_set | latin1 character_sets | latin1 big5 cp1251 cp1257 croat czech danish dec8 dos estonia euc_kr gb2312 Please help me with your valuable advice Thank you Deepak --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
