body: <p>Currently I am migrating MSSQL to MySQL. I am using the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver to connect to MySQL using ODBC connectivity. I have Telugu language characters stored in the table. They are not showing properly while using the MySQL ODBC driver, but they are showing up properly while using the sqlserver ODBC driver.</p>
