I had similar problems with Greek characters and MySql database server that i used through weborb for java. I resolved it by adding some more parameters in the creation of sql connection
I am copying the part of cql connection string that resolved my ptoblem <add connectionString="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databasename?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8&characterSetResults=utf8&user=root&password=rootroot" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" name="applicationModel"/> Check yours if it has the useUnicode=true, characterEncoding=utf8 and characterSetResults=utf8. Hope that helps. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Flex-MySQL-Connector-tp12744p12769.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
