You have to distinguidh between the character set of the db (or the
fields in your table) and the character set of your connection.

Since you have "Österreich" in your country table the db (or at least
the field you store the country name in) was built with ISO8859_1 (or
WIN1252).

So check the charcter set of your connection.
I have never accessed IB/FB with java, so I can't tell you where you
specify this.
