Hiya,
The problem seems to be solved. Added debugging information in the Postgres Driver and at the end after several tests I was able to conclude that it didn't has anything to do with the driver.
So I wrote a few sample apps. (reading - writing from file with extended character set in it) and it was the BlackDown JVM who behaves very strange and also the Sun's JVM seems to behave very strange and translate (converts) these characters into "?".
Only the IBM's JVM seems to work fine.
The OS is Debian Linux with Blackdown JVM who gave me a few nights without rest!!!!

Subject: [JDBC] Encoding
Hiya,
I was 2 months ago using the sourceforge JDBC driver on WinNt as client and HP-UX as server (so PostgresQl) server. At time I had problems with the extented ASII set, all the characters were converted to "?". So I switched to the org.postgresql.Driver and problem seems to be solved.
Now 2 months later we have to go into production and the target OS is Debian Linux for client and server. And guess what I can see the same problem, all characters belonging to the extented set are converted to "?".
I have written a small testprogram, create one connection and tries to insert data with Java and JDBC. This seems not to work. But .... if I insert data with psql -h ... -f insertcommandfile.sql and look then in the database then there is no problem at all. Extented Characters are inserted. So I suppose the Db is correctly configured. (eg client-encoding and server encoding).
I have seen that ages ago the JDBC driver had problems with encoding but this was solved I thought.
I'm testing with this character: é, but also other characters has the same problem.
I need help .... Real help ...
Kind regards,
