Dear members

i have this case

i have somefile.sql used to insert via consola/terminal
for windows and linux a lot of these sentences

Code:

INSERT INTO Articulo
(idArticulo,descripcion,stockactual,precioUnitario,precioUnitarioVenta,totalValorizado,xtraTextUnoArticulo, xtraNumDosArticulo,idLineaCategoria,idMedida)
VALUES('MD343636','RODAJE DE PIÑON',0,0,0,0,'',0,'100','10');

but how you can see i use spanish character like Ñ and
even for other insertions Ú Ó

now see the name PIÑON
i dont recieve some error while the insertion, but via browser in my java application i see this row in this way

Code:

RODAJE DE PIÃ‘ON

the Ñ is lost and replaced by other characters

how i can resolve this???

thanks in advanced

This sort of issue can be problematic to resolve. Coming from a British English background its not something I've had many dealings with as the default character set works fine for me. So the following is guesswork / distant memory...

first off make sure the MySQL db is using the correct character set. I forget at what level you need to set it, I think you can define a specific character set at server, db and/or table level.

the next thing to do is to make sure that all clients support that character set. So the problem may not be a MySQL problem, it may be to do with the client(s) sending/receiving data, it may be the server, it may be at an intermediate level.. if say you are going through a web server, or other form of driver or intermediate process.

From waht you are saying it sounds like the MySQL is fine.. the problem is the manner in which data is retrieved from the server.... there is one or more intermediate step whoich is not handling the code page correctly.

whether thats the MySQL class / interface, something in JAVA, something in the final target, or some other piece of software you are using in the application

Personally I'd suspect its going to be either the JAVA MySQL interface or JAVA itself, if you don't get an answer here I'd suggest you ask the question in the JAVA thread... thinking about it probably best to move this to the JAVA thread leaving it visible in the MySQL thread to give it a better chance oif being answered

i think that the reason is a encoding problem

i have this situation

in a submit form i can write in peace any character and even Ñ

but in the db if a do a simple query
after to done the submit insertion of course
i lost my spansih character like Ñ

Code:

mysql> select razonCliente,direccionCliente from Cliente;
+--------------+------------------+
| razonCliente | direccionCliente |
+--------------+------------------+
| CARLOS NU?EZ | AV LOS NI?OS 108 |
+--------------+------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

? instead of Ñ, why?

thanks in advanced

Id still suggest first off prove where the error is occurring... first off check the server
try inserting the row (preferably) inside the the MySQL command client or (failing that) the MySQL query browser. I'd sugges tthe command line client so that there are as few as possible barriers between you and the server itself
if you can insert PIÑON there and see it on a query then you know the error isn't the server.. the data is being stored correctly

if it is then the problem is how you are submitting the data to the server

I'd have a look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...onnection.html

Hello healdem

thanks so much for your reply

ok, friend, i did this

Code:

@localhost ~]$ mysql -u root -p 
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 5.0.27-standard

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> INSERT INTO Articulo (idArticulo,descripcion,stockactual,precioUnitario,precioUnitarioVenta,totalValorizado,xtraTextUnoArticulo, xtraNumDosArticulo,idLineaCategoria,idMedida) 
VALUES('ABC','LITTLE GIRL IN SPANISH IS NIÑITA AND GIRL IS NIÑA',0,0,0,0,'',0,'100','10');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

mysql> select a.idArticulo,a.descripcion from Articulo a WHERE a.idArticulo='ABC';
+------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| idArticulo | descripcion                                        |
+------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| ABC        | LITTLE GIRL IN SPANISH IS NIÑITA AND GIRL IS NIÑA |
+------------+----------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I don't know, I don't use JAVA, I don't use the none default codepage in mySQL

So the server is storing and retrieving your data correctly, now youneed to trace where the error is being introduced. It could be the JAVA / MYSQL interface, it could be the JAVA application

I'd check to see if the MySQL Query browser displays the data correctly.. if so that narrows it down to something that is JAVA specific

check what code page your Java app is using
check what code page you Java -> MySQL library / class is using

have you checked to make sure you are suing he most recent and stable JAVA interface?

the problem lies in the Java area, not the MySQL server
