NON English chars are saved as "?"

Question

I try to update large amount of chars to both SQL server(or MSDE) and
MS Access.
when I use the following :
byte[] data = str.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
ps.setAsciiStream(parameterIndex,bais,data.length);
the text is save correctly to MS Access but in MSDE it is saved as "?"
(I have installed it with the correct collation=hebrew_ci_ai and the regional settings are correct)
When I used ps.setCharacterStream() is saved the data o.k in MSDE but with MS Access an exception accoured when saving a large amount of text ..
Any Ideas what can work for both DBs ?
THANKS !

That should be "es_ES.utf8"
Sorry, i mispelled it in the post.
Of course, my locale is es_ES.utf8:
LANG=es_ES.utf8
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.utf8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.utf8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.utf8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.utf8"
LC_ALL=
I don't think this could be the source of the problem, because, except in the places I said in the firs post, the rest of my system works perfectly.
