Selecting a Character Set Converter

jConnect uses the JCONNECT_VERSION to determine the default character-set converter class to use.

For JCONNECT_VERSION = 2.0 or 3.0, the default is TruncationConverter. For JCONNECT_VERSION = 4.0 or later, the default is PureConverter.

You can also set the CHARSET_CONVERTER_CLASS connection property to specify which character-set converter you want jConnect to use. This is useful if you want to use a character-set converter other than the default for your jConnect version.

For example, if you set JCONNECT_VERSION = 4.0 or later but want to use the TruncationConverterclass rather than the multibyte PureConverter class, you can set CHARSET_CONVERTER_CLASS:

...
 props.put("CHARSET_CONVERTER_CLASS", 
   "com.sybase.jdbc4.charset.TruncationConverter")
