Reading Unicode characters from an Access database via JDBC-ODBC

Question

I have some non-standard characters in my Access 2010 database. When I read them via

Connection con = null;
try{
    Class.forName(\"sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcD         


        

Answer 1

I had question marks when DB contained polish characters. It was fixed when I set charecter encoding to windows-1250.

def establish(dbFile: File): Connection = {
  val fileName = dbFile.getAbsolutePath
  val database = s"${driver}DBQ=${fileName.trim};DriverID=22;READONLY=true}"
  val props = new Properties()
  props.put("charSet", "Cp1250")
  val connection= DriverManager.getConnection(database,props)
  connection
}
