在DB2数据库中插入特殊字符

Question

I am having database in DB2 that works fine with insertion of normal text with java .

But as some special characters occurs like Mise à jour des référentiels liés then problem comes in insertion of data.

Please tell what actually the problem is with insertion of such type of data and how can we do insertion of such data.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The problem (I think, since you haven't specified on you created your database) is that you haven't created a database that supports UTF-8.

IBM DB2 UDB (Universal Database) supports UTF-8 and UCS-2.

When creating a database, you can set CODESET to be of type UTF-8, as follows:

CREATE DATABASE dbname USING CODESET UTF-8 

Alternatively, you can set CCSID on your table (or table column). For UTF-8, the CCSID = 1208, while UCS-2, CCSID = 1200.

This IBM article shows you which data column each CCSID is associated to when assigning a table as Unicode.
