Oracle JDBC Euro character

Question

We have a problem with the Euro character when saving and retrieving it from a Oracle 10g using the Oracle 10.2.0.3 JDBC driver. The problem only occurs during a JUnit test

Answer 1

It's quite possible; code page 1252 is Microsoft's own extension of ISO-8859-1 (a.k.a. Latin-1), and it's rarely used on Linux, which tends to use the latter. The euro symbol is not part of Latin-1, that may be why it can't be displayed properly on Linux. Can you not use UTF-8? It will work the same way on both sides.
