special caracters while importing data with DTS from MyODBC

When importing data into MS SQL Server 2000 from a MyODBC (v3.51) data
source using Data Transformation Services, special characters like öäüéàè
are not imported correctly. However, when the MyODBC data source is used in
any other program like Access, Excel etc. it works fine.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Any hint to solve this problem
would be very much appreciated!

I don't know what MyODBC is, but it sounds like someghing that comes
with MySQL. Nor do I know DTS very well...

But since I usually take a stab at charset issues....

1) What datatype are the target columns in SQL Server? char, nchar?
2) What collation do the columns have? (You see this with sp_help)
3) In what way are the characters wrecked. That is, which characters
do you get instead? If you get non-ASCII characters, it might be
a good idea to post a screen-shot on a web site and give a link.

Greetings for a while I simply can not import properly timestamp data back to database. I dump all databases with mysqldump --opt --all-databases > backup.sql and backup file is correctly created. All my tables have timestamp column since VB programs and MyODBC do not work properly without it. When I import data back, every timestamp column is restored to 0000-00-00 00:00:00. That is incorrect data and time format and my application...

Hello, I was wondering if there are a few good pages and/or examples on how to process form data correctly for putting it in a MySQL DB. Since I'm not used to using PHP a lot, I already found out that addslashes() can be used escape some characters, but I'm having some more problems with for instance ä, å and µ (since the text is scientifical) Now some people also throw in htmlspecialchars() to convert those to HTML entities, but some...
