Hello,

I tested BIRT yesterday..
I have some problem, exactly character encoding.

My DB uses iso-8859_1 encoding..
My dev environment is UTF-8(or MS949 korean)..

So all korean character is unreadable..

Do you have plan to customize character set?

It's a very important to me because I can't change character set in DB &
dev environment..

Thanks..

Jason,
The first thing you want to make sure is that you use a Unicode capable
JDBC driver (the Sun Jdbc-Odbc Bridge for example will not do), and that
you correctly configure the driver so that it knows the encoding of the
database. The way to do this varies widely from driver to driver. Some
drivers for example requires that you set the "charset" parameter in the
JDBC connection url to identify the encoding used in the database. Look
into the documentation of your JDBC driver to see how it does this.

Have you been able to use the same DB / Dev/ JDBC driver combination
successfully in another Java application? If so it will certainly be
helpful to look at what URL is used in that application to connect.

Good luck with BIRT and I hope you can share your future experience in
this newsgroup.
