Re: Visual Studio 2005 and Greek language

[Alexander Barkov]

Is you application a GUI application, or a console application?

If it is GUI, then check what does this query retun in your application:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%';

Make sure that these three are set to "greek":

character_set_client
character_set_connection
character_set_results

Otherwise, send "SET NAMES greek" as the first query after
connecting to the database.


If you build a console apllication, then it a DOS-alike
application and it uses cp869. MySQL currently does not
support this character set. Feel free to post a feature
request at our bug database: http://bugs.mysql.com/
