Error Connecting to MySql (character set index '49')

I downloaded the Oracle Sql Developer extensions and went to Tools / Preferences / Third Part and set the location for the Jar file.
When I try and test the connection to the MySql database I get this error:
An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
Unknown initial charater set index '49' received from the server.
Initial client character set can be forced via the 'characterEncoding' property.
Vendor code 0
My dba's used Sql developer to connect to the same MySql database fine. If I use MySql Workbench, I can connect. (I prefer Sql Developer, so I was hoping to get this connection to work.)
I even tried going to MySql to get their Connection/J JDBC jar file; but the same results.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Are your colleagues using the same sqldev/JDBC versions? Which?
Did you follow the guide on setting it up, and the driver from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ ?

Hi K,
Whats the default character set of you MySQL and Oracle Databases.
What version of JDBC driver are you using?
Is there any unicode characters used in your data?
Have you tried offline data move?
Thanks

Unknown initial character set index '48'

Hello,
I have installed today the Mysql connector/j and every time I try to connect to mysql I get the following error.
"java.sql.SQLException: Unknown initial character set index '48' received from server. Initial client character set can be forced via the 'characterEncoding' property."
The line that produces this error is the following:
conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
I have read some solutions from other people faced the same error as me but nothing really helped me.
I have changed the character-set-server = latin1 and the collation-server = latin1_swedish_ci lines of win.ini several times today but no luck.
Anyone know what should I do to manage to connect to the database?

just in case anybody else face the same problem as I did, the solution that worked for me is to install an older version of connector/j.
I had the problem with mysql-connector-java-5.0.4 but with mysql-connector-java-3.1.14 everything is fine and I can now connect to my db.

Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ HELP

Hi Experts,
I have created a database link from Oracle 10g to Mysql 5.
I have installed Oracle Gateway 11g for this purpose.
When i retreive the data from sql plus the text is displayed as question marks.
Oracle 10g Database character set is WE8MSWIN1252
Mysql character set --->latin1
Character set of ODBC connector for mysql is latin7
Character set in the parameter file of HS folder is WE8MSWIN1252When i retrieve data from sql developer the text is fine(as i think it directly takes the character set of target) but
when i login from sqlplus i get question marks!
Appreciate your help,
regards

thank you for replying damorgan,
my previous two threads in the "heterogeneous Connectivity" forum were for different issues, one was to enquire as to how i could connect from oracle to mysql(which i have marked as answered), the other is for error when i get when i tried accessing data(which i am still facing on my office machine ).
I followed the steps from these two threads and was able to successfully connect to mysql on my personal PC at home, but faced some problem with text not displayed so i created this thread.
I had created another thread similar to this in the globalisation support as i was facing issue with the character sets in a heterogenous setup, so wasen't clear as to which forum would be suitable for this issue.
My apologies to everyone if this has offended you.

It is OK to post a globalization-related question in this forum in addition to the forum pertaining to the main technology. Not all experts follow all possible forums on OTN. Of course, you should cross-link the posts to let people merge the answers.
Regarding the problem itself, make sure that SQL*Plus has the right NLS_LANG setting in the environment. On Windows, in the Command Prompt:
C:\> set NLS_LANG=.WE8PC850
C:\> sqlplus ...On Unix:
$ setenv NLS_LANG .WE8ISO8859P1 (or NLS_LANG=.WE8ISO8859P1; export NLS_LANG)

Oracle to MySql character set problem

Dear Gurus,
My database is Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0) on Sun Solaris 10. To get data from mysql database for reporting purpose, I used DG4ODBC and followed strictly the OMSC note "Detailed Overview of Connecting Oracle to MySQL Using DG4ODBC Database Link [ID 1320645.1]. Here are main configuration steps:
- Check DG4ODBC 32/64-bit
- Install and configure ODBC Driver Manager unixodbc-2.2.14
- Install and configure MyODBC 5.1.8
- Configure tnsnames.ora and listener.ora
- Create db links
Oracle character set is AL32UTF8
MySQL charactoer set is uft8

HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS=FALSE
HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
# ODBC env variables
set ODBCINI=$ODBC_HOME/etc/odbc.ini
My issue is I can query data from mysql database tables but the output is incorrect in character type columns (VARCHAR columns). It just shows the first character in such columns. I tried to read through some OMSC notes but none is useful. If you experienced on such issues, please share your idea / help me resolve it.
Thanks much in advance,
Hieu

Error connecting to MySQL database

Well I am a beginner trying to get the basics of JDBC. I am following a simple connection tutorial and I cannot even make this work. I receive an error when I run the program. It is a nested error that begins with "java.io.EOFException". I'm thinking it has something to do with the URL I am using to connect to the database. Any ideas?
Here is the code I am using if that helps at all.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class jdbctry {
public static void main(String args[]) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {
      Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
      con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://url:port/database",
      if(!con.isClosed())
        System.out.println("Successfully connected to " +
          "MySQL server using TCP/IP...");
    } catch(Exception e) {
      System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    } finally {
      try {
        if(con != null)
          con.close();
      } catch(SQLException e) {}
} edit- I think the problem was I had a bad port number assigned to the URL. This time I got a "java.net.SocketException" error. It says my connection timed out.

I'll assume that you've substituted appropriate values into that connection URL, right?
It s
// host = IP address or name of machine where MySQL is listening
// port = 3306 (default)
// database = instance you wish to connect to
// username, password have to be GRANTed access rights.
String url = "jdbc:mysql://host:port/database";Can you connect using the MySQL client and see the database you want in Java? If the client can't connect, neither can JDBC.

Notice the ! symbol(exclamation mark) present in the connection string above for the password value i.e., !xyzabc
Is the problem with the ! symbol in my password, coz I am able to connect
if I changed my password omitting the ! symbol. But I would like to connect with the ! symbol in the password. Any quick help is appreciated.
Thanks,

specify the database Server address, you can't do it with the "HTTP URL"
String url = "jdbc:mysql://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
Class.forName("mySql spec");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"user", "pass");

ORA-12712 error while changing nls character set to AL32UTF8

Hi,
It is strongly recommend to use database character set AL32UTF8 when ever a database is going to used with our XML capabilities. The database character set in the installed DB is WE8MSWIN1252. For making use of XML DB features, I need to change it to AL32UTF8. But, when I try doing this, I'm getting ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set. Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Divya.

Hi,
a change from we8mswin1252 to al32utf8 is not directly possible. This is because al32utf is not a binary superset of we8mswin1252.
There are 2 options:
- use full export and import
- Use of the Alter in a sort of restricted way
The method you can choose depends on the characters in the database, is it only ASCII then the second one can work, in other cases the first one is needed.
It is all described in the Support Note 260192.1, "Changing the NLS_CHARACTERSET to AL32UTF8 / UTF8 (Unicode)". Get it from the support/metalink site.
You can also read the chapters about this issue in the Globalization Guide: [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch11charsetmig.htm#g1011430]Change characterset.

Error connecting to MySQL database using JNDI

Hi,
I'm trying to do a simple connection to a MySQL database using the JNDI look-up
method.
Have tried this with the PointBase database that came with WebLogic and got it
to work successfully.
However got the attached error message when I tried it on MySQL database. I tried
this with both the WebLogic's driver for MySQL and also the one I downloaded from
MySQL (com.mysql.jdbc.Driver), and both failed with the same error message.
Offhand, it doesn't look like the connection pool is failing. Tested it with WebLogic's
"Test Pool" function and it was alright.
Also MySQL database is working properly. Test this by doing simple connection
and retrieval with simple JDBC connections and it works.
Any ideas what else I can check with regards to this problem?
Thanks!
[att1.html]

Hi Joe,
Attached is the config.xml for the domain that I'm working with. There are 3 connection
pools set-up.
The problematic Connection Pools are "MySQLCP" and "My JDBC Connection Pool"
Thanks for your help in this!

Unidentified error connecting to MySql

I’m almost embarrassed to post this question because
there seems to be plenty of the same issue already here. On the
other hand I’m not as embarrassed as the developer who
created such a useless message as “unidentified error”
.... but that’s another story.
I’ve reviewed those other messages & solutions and
still get this error.
I’m running Dreamweaver MX version 6.1 under Windows XP
and trying to connect to a local MySql database.
I have no problem connecting to the local database using
several other applications (including Navicat) so I think my set up
is okay.
I’ve also tested the connection with my browser (
http://localhost/mysite_root/test-connect.php)
and that test was successful.
I have defined the document type (PHP of course) and testing
server models.
I am attempting to use the + sign in the databases tab and
navigate to the MySql database and that is when the
“unidentified error” occurs.
I have tried removing the connection scripts.
I have downloaded and applied updates from the Adobe web
site.
One posting mentioned modifying the php.ini file, but it is
unclear what to change or even why that would be necessary since
everything else works.
I admit that establishing this MySql connection should be a
no-brainer that takes minutes not hours. But I’m out of
ideas.

Your settings seem to be correct. Other likely causes of the
"Unidentified error" are:
* MySQL isn't running (since you can connect with Navicat,
that's
probably not applicable).
* A software firewall is preventing connection between
Dreamweaver and
MySQL.
* You have old versions of the hidden connection scripts. I'm
not sure
if this option is available in MX 6.1, but go to Site >
Advanced, and
select Remove Connection Scripts. Then create a new MySQL
Connection in
Dreamweaver. This replaces the contents of a hidden folder
called
_mmServerScripts, which controls communication between
Dreamweaver and
MySQL.
The reason you get "Unidentified error" is because
Dreamweaver cannot
even communicate with MySQL, and therefore cannot identify
the problem.

Error connecting to mySQL...

I have been testing JSP and get a strange error at this line:
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
The error message: http://www.hyrum.net/therecord/index.jsp
Any ideas?

Yes I have since changed it to have the NewInstance call. I was missing the jar file and then I also needed to change the mysql.users file.
Apparently localhost is treated differently by JSP so it returns localhost.localdomain instead of just localhost.
So I got it going yesterday :) Thanks guys.
