JDBC connection w/Japanese server

Question

I have an English client doing the following JDBC connection to a Japanese server:
m_connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
m_connectionStr,
m_user, m_password );
This always results in a SQL exception with the following three messages:
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]???? 'MSSQL' ???????????????????????????????
SQL State: HY000
SQL Code: 4060
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]???? 'sa' ??????????????
SQL State: 28000
SQL Code: 18456
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]An error occured while attempting to log onto the database.
SQL State: 08001
SQL Code: 0
What do I need to do to get a connection and to send queries that are stored in English?
Thanks,

Answer 1

The connection string is:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://10.4.10.34:1433;databaseName=MSSQL;
I tried the following with the same bad results as before:
java.util.Properties prop = new java.util.Properties();
prop.setProperty( "user", m_user );
prop.setProperty( "password", m_password );
prop.setProperty( "characterEncoding", "utf8" );
prop.setProperty( "useUnicode", "true" );
m_connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
m_connectionStr, prop );
Will some variation of this work?
