`CONTENT` text,

`AUTOR` varchar(255) character set utf8default NULL,

`DATE_OF_CREATION` datetimedefault NULL,

`HEADLINE` varchar(255)default NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (`NEWS_ID`)

) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

the setting:

news1.setAutor(new String("Hugo der AffeΕλλάδα".getBytes(),"UTF-8"));

Can anybody help me?
