Hi all,

I am trying to connect to mysql 5 through my java application using JDBC .

But unfortunately i am getting the following error

java.sql.SQLException: Unknown initial character set index '192' received from server. Initial client character set can be forced via the 'characterEncoding' property.

PLease guide me on this.

Thanks ,
Sush

may be best to ask this in the java forum rather than the MySQL forum. let us know if you want it transferring to there
