------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 14 15:10:08 +0000 2007 ------- I tried to connect to a mysql database where greek is stored in collation utf8_unicode_ci. In the connection settings i selected unicode utf-8 for the charset. Here is the problem I encountered Greek chars are displayed correctly when they are already in the database (I entered them through phpmyadmin) but When i try to modify or add a new record from OpenOffice Base they are not passed to mysql correctly and are displayed as ???? I searched all options in OpenOffice Base and I tried various collations for greek in mysql. They all reproduced the same problem I googled and I found this http://www.olat.org/docu/install/Database_and_UTF-8_configuration.html After that I tried writing the database name (e.g. testdb) adding next to the database name this parameter string and it worked! Instead of testdb I used testdb?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8 I think that this should have been automatically added and handled (internally in the openoffice code) when i selected charset UTF-8. So I file this issue as a bug (correct me if I am wrong) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
