Question

I have a java application, want to insert arabic words to mysql database, my code looks like

Connection con = null;
    String url = \"jdbc:mysql://localhos         


        

Answer 1

You have to create your database as a UTF-8 table otherwise no matter what you add it will never be able to store it...

second you need to encode it before you save it, I like to use unicode... one thing about this is that if you have a column that specifies 32 length, you will have to increase that for unicode as a single character takes up 6 characters,

example

letter h appears as U+0068

Answer 2

@maerics I tried using PreparedStatement instead and SQL Injection attack is still able to be done, I think either am implementing the PreparedStatemnt wrong or your feed is incorrect.

Answer 3

add this variable after db variable declaration:

String unicode= "?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8";

and then modify your line:

con = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db,"root","");

to

con = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db+unicode,"root","");

Answer 4

i faced the same problem but with Chinese data, and it is not only the UTF8 in the db connection is the solution you should also do this:

Ensure that your MySQL configuration encoding is defined correctly. Add these lines to either my.cnf "in the case if using linux" or my.ini "case you using windows"

[client] 
default-character-set=utf8

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysqld]
default-character-set=utf8
character-set-server=utf8
