charset in 4.1.x gamma

[Konstantin Kivi]

I cannot get koi8r charset working propely after I tried to switch from 4.0.x

In 4.0 I have server running with --default-character-set=koi8_ru
and both mysql client and servlet application did what I wanted.

After I upgraded to 4.1 gamma I cannot get things working,
unless I run mysql client with --default-character-set=koi8r

I tried to create database with both charset koi8r and utf8
and tried to run server with --default-charset and without -
I always can see only ???? instead of koi8 data I tried to put in database.

I apparently miss something even after reading documentation.
Has anybody soggestions?

Best regards, Konstantin Kivi

Konstantin,

I have successfully managed to get mysql 4.1.6 working with UTF8.
At first, I was getting bad values ("???", like you're reporting). Switching
from MySQL Connector/J 3.0.11 to 3.1.4 fixed this problem. You might also
have to convert your database tables:

I hope this helps.
