Hi all,
I’m Itami Sho, a contributor to Apache IoTDB. Currently, IoTDB supports only
the UTF-8 charset. To enhance the system's flexibility and usability across
different environments, I have implemented a feature that handles character set
conversion when the user system's charset does not match IoTDB's default UTF-8.
The main functionality of this feature involves converting input character sets
to UTF-8 and output character sets to the user-specified charset.
This update will primarily focus on modifying the JDBC interfaces. During the
initialization of a connection, users can now specify the charset parameter in
the URL, as demonstrated below:
try (Connection connection =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:iotdb://127.0.0.1:6667?charset=GB18030",
"root", "root"); Statement statement = connection.createStatement()) { // Your
code here }
In future work, I plan to extend support for this feature to other interfaces
such as Session, REST API, MQTT, and more.
You can check my PR to get more code details:

I look forward to your feedback and suggestions to further improve this
feature. Your input will be invaluable in ensuring that this enhancement meets
the needs of the community : )
Best regards,
Itami Sho
