Thank you! I think we're getting much closer to a solution... but here I'll need some help... I just added this line
justafter creating the statement:
out.print(SQL);
and this is the text I got:
update sys_people set middle_name='testing' where family_name='Smith';
update sys_people set middle_name='ôûâôûâàôûâà' where family_name='Pratt';
This matches the text I have in the DB perfectly... the question is now, how to get that to work right? As for the
Unicodeescapes, how do I determine them? And why is it that when I read the "garbage" back from the DB it shows
perfectRussian characters again?
I've tried both jikes and the Sun javac compilers, as well as the gcj compiler, with JDK 1.6 EE (and the symptoms are
thesame since I was working with language en_US.UTF-8 and JDK 1.5). Supposedly they all take their parameters from the
environment(which I believe is set right)...
For the server settings (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS),
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=ru
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Right now, the string I'm entering was from the keyboard, set to Russian mode (and yes, I've tried it from Linux and
Windows,and the results are the same).
Thanks again for all the help,
