Re: Read Japanese characters using JDBC

I've been working with Japanese double byte data in DB2/400 tables recently and I don't have to do anything special when I run my application ... rs.getString("fieldname") should get you the Japanese data in Unicode.

So far so good.
Your jvm needs to be running in Japanese though.

But why this? Is this to read and write IFS files properly?

If I have understood correctly the UTF-8 files should read off disk properly into the internal Unicode representation (Japanese characters included) which in turn should communicate correctly over JDBC regardless of the JVM configuration. Any reason why this JVM is different?
