Hi all I am storing my data in Oracle database with character set set to Shift_JIS(to store the Japanase information).I am querying from database and sending the content to browser using servlets. Can anybody answer the follwoing questions: 1.Do I need to encode the URL parameters to Shift_JIS strings, before inserting them into the SQL query strings?I tried querying without encoding them to Shift_jis and queries are returning null becoz of the difference in the charcter sets. 2.If answer is Yes to Q.1 , then how to know the character set in whcih URL was encoded by browser(both IE and NC) 3.If the parameter string is contains both Jap and English charcters , do I need to handle such cases specially? Ur help is greatly appreciated.
