Hi Urs,

Yes, you can add "?lc_ctype=ISO8859_1" to the end of the database URL string
to get something like:

Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:firebirdsql:localhost/3050:/firebird/test.
gdb?lc_ctype=ISO8859_1", "sysdba", "masterkey");

Or you can use properties like so:

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("user","sysdba");
p.put("password","masterkey");
p.put("lc_ctype","ISO8859_1");

Class.forName("org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver");
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:firebirdsql:127.0.0.1/3050:C:\\Database\\d
bname.gdb",p);
