put euro symbol in ISO-8859-1 database
419312Apr 20 2004 — edited Apr 21 2004is it possible to use jdbc to store a euro symbol in oracle with character set ISO-8859-1 then retrieve the information with jdbc and write it to a ISO-8859-15 textfile and display the euro symbol properly. i'm trying to do this and it doesn't work. as output i use a OutputStreamWriter object in Java using ISO-8859-15 to create an XML file and then i open it in Internet Explorer. it doen't recognize the euro symbols. strange thing is that when i view the source in notepad it does display the euro symbols properly. just using the OutputStreamWriter to write euro symbols also works well.
i'm trying to find out what is causing this problem but i'm not quite sure. i never before had problems with character sets so it's all a bit new to me.
thank you in advance.
