Hi,

I am writing to a text column in my SQL Server 2000 database. The text
comes from a web form in my java web application, where the character
encoding is ISO-8859-1. (I have no control over the charset, my app is
a plugin inside another app.)
Characters such as €(ascii 128) and '(ascii 146) are inserted into
the db as '?'.

I'm connecting using the free jtds driver, and I'm not specifying any
details about charsets in my usage of the driver.

Can anyone tell me what the default charset in sqlserver 2000 is?
Should I be specifying this charset when using my driver?
Thanks.
