Hello,
I have a problem. DB tables in project are set to latin2 (ISO8859_2) encoding. I was trying to create Data Source in my report with jdbc, and I always get wrong chars. It is MySQL Datbase.

connection string:
jdbc:mysql://localhost/db?characterEncoding=ISO8859_2

even if I use other encodings I get the same Sad

. I realy need some help, I've stuck on it for few days.

Can you open a bugzilla entry for this?

I wasn't sure if it is bug, and in which project (Birt MySQL JDBC Connector).

I did made few more test and with url:
jdbc:mysql://localhost/db?characterEncoding=ISO8859_2&re sultsEncoding=ISO8859_2

I get all strings in different encoding than previously. I don't get proper chars (like ą, ć, ł) but '?' mostly. I think it is a problem with MySQL. Especially when I tried to check different encodings with simple Java Application with JDBC. In that case I always get '?' char instead of i.e. 'ą' or 'ł'.
