Hi!
I have done just like you (ghisslain) did but with myssql 4.1 and it worked very well.
There seems to be a lack of configuration possibilities when one have to create a mssql database.
The challenge seems to be to store chinese or cyrillic characters and to retreive them again using a jdbcdriver.
I maybe will go on and try some other jdbc driver or look for connection properties but I have not that much fait....
