Hi Roman

Thanks for your reply!
I changed the local to Swedish and the variables are changed but it
did not work.
I tried to connect with:
jdbc:firebirdsql:localhost/3050:/path/to/db.fdb?encoding=NONE&charSet=WIN1252
but the connection was behaving strange and wont show table content.

Is not WINxxxx Windows specific character set or does it also work
under linux?

Thanks,
Hugo
