Problem retrieving values from database

Hi all,

I'm using Oracle in the backend of my web application. I have certain danish characters which appear fine when i view them in TOAD, but when i try to retrieve these from the database using<resultset>.getString(); it shows a '?' in place of the special characters.

Can anyone please help me with this

How do you output it? Do you print them to the console? Keep in mind that the console might be unable to display it. The only sure way to find out if it's successfully returned from your DB is to check the Unicode values of the characters returned. Alternatively you could try to debug your code and check the value in your IDE of choice (which wont work if the IDE doesn't support Unicode very well. I can only tell you that Eclipse works for this).
