JavaStudio 1.0 is released by using JDK 1.1.3. The database connectivity component using JDBC-ODBC bridge is working in C locale but not
working in other locale due to Data sent to bridge via input parameter is
not supported for conversion of international character set in JDK 1.1.3
(It is fixed after JDK1.2 beta 2 according to the attached e-mail).

Problem:
The Data sent to the bridge via input parameters
isn't converted in JDK1.1.3 hence "bind - "where" condition in SQL and
insert won't work" with JavaStudio Japanese database or other non-C locale
database.

Request:
We need the patch for JDK1.1.3 so that JavaStudio 1.0 Database
connectivity component can work other non-C locale database by using
JDBC-ODBC bridge for March 1998 release.

It is highly appreciated and helpful to know the information about
which area will be affected by this patch fix and how complicated ths fix is.

[Note:]
Engineers have tried to evaluate other 3rd party JDBC drivers with Japanese
database, So far, there are limited driver can support for Japanese and
most of them are not working reliably with JavaStudio (see attached result).
Engineer is currently experimenting with weblogic-Oracle Japanese Database.


Attached the following e-mail and 3rd-party JDBC driver with non-C locale
database test result for your reference.

Hi.
 
Currently, the bridge does convert data being read from the database into the
default local character set. Data sent to the bridge via input parameters
isn't converted.
 
We are working to include a version of the bridge in the
JDK 1.2 beta2 release that has full support for international character
sets.

still experimenting it.
