Hello,

I am working with Toad for MySql, and I just love MySql with this easy to use GUI!!!
However, I am facing some troubles.
My problem is with Hebrew characters.
When I insert columns with hebrew letter, they are turning into question marks (?).
I thought that maybe it is Toad's fault, so I tried using the MySql command-line.
But now I cannot not write hebrew at all, I just get Gibrish. It seems that there is no hebrew support for DOS in Win XP (I guess Mr. Gates though there are no more applications using DOS).
I searched the net for some tips, but I could not found any solution.

Some details:
OS: Win XP SP2.
MySql ver: 4.1.10-nt.
The characters variables:
+--------------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| character_set_client | latin1 |
| character_set_connection | latin1 |
| character_set_database | hebrew |
| character_set_results | latin1 |
| character_set_server | hebrew |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | D:\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\share\charsets/ |
+--------------------------+-------------------------------------------+

I tought maybe changing these values all to "hebrew will do the trick, but...
It does not let me changing the character_set_system.
Tried to change all the rest to "hebrew" (using set ....='hebrew'), and then tried to open MySql again, but it got back to this status.

Anyone has any ideas?...
I would appreciate any help.

Kind regards,
Ohad.
