I have an MS-Access database, which I am connecting to in Java using the JDBC (I think the JDBC-ODBC bridge). My access database has some values which are in hebrew.

When I try to read these values using String str = rs.getString(1) (rs is a RowSet), the string I get is just a string of question marks.

I have other strings in hebrew, which I set in the Java code using string literals, and they work fine. So I’m pretty sure the problem is specifically with reading from the db.

I’m very new to this whole thing, so I could easily be missing something stupid… I searched Google for a while and didn’t come up with anything, except some people saying that there’s a chance this kind of thing is not supported (say somewhere that the JDBC-ODBC bridge has a bug with regards to Unicode, but it was from 2005, so who knows?).

I’d appreciate any help, thanks.

    Have you tried to set the charSet prior to calling the query?
