Adding records in database problem . . .

[merianos]

Hello all . . .

I have create a database in MySQL Server by using the VB.NET.

The problem is that every time i try to execute an insert query to the database thru the VB.NET the characters that I'm adding in database writen in Greek ar not in Greek but instead Greek characters in the database record I'm getting back question marks for each character (?)

i.e. :

INSERT INTO table(col1, col2, col3) VALUES('val1', 'Νίκος', 'Μέριανος')

in the database I'm getting

cal1 ????? ????????

only if i execute the query from the VB.NET

If i will execute the same query from the MySQL Query Console then is everythink ok.

What can i do for ? ? ?


Thanks a lot . . .

see if there is a setting in the connection string to allow for unicode characters.. Asking in a Greek forum might be better; this forum is not intended for MySQL or international languages

Calimera..

I have to see for the connection string . . .

I had not think about it.

In greek forums the writers are very poor programmers on this questions . . .

I had try in the past and i had not any serious answer . . .

Thanks a lot . . .

The only ohter thing I can think is if you ask in any other international forum where unicode characters will need to be stored.. I dont know what languages that might be though.. and I'm not very familiar with MySQL, but I googled for mysql unicode problem
