We use DriverManager.getConnection('our connection string', props),
where props contains:
props.put("user", aUsername);
props.put("password", aPassword);
props.put("encoding", "UNICODE_FSS");
props.put("charSet", "UTF8");

That last property 'charSet' seems out of place to be setting it to
'UTF8', but that seemed to be the only thing that worked for us
(props.put("charSet", "UNICODE_FSS") didn't work correctly)... and all
our 'normal' queries work just fine !?!

Unfortunately that did not work...
