Hi Bill,
To read in data to within the DB I am using
I imagine that you confusion is coming from :
All numeric values are stored in the header information use the formats of the DataInputStream and DataOutputStream classes. All text values, and all fields (which are text only), contain only 8 bit characters, null terminated if less than the maximum length for the field. The character encoding is 8 bit US ASCII.
I then write the String out as:
I am not specifying the charset when writing is that right?
