title: JDBC iso-8859-1 encoding
body: <p>In my program, I'm connecting to a Microsoft SQL database using JTDS (<a href="http://jtds.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://jtds.sourceforge.net/</a>). The encoding of my database is iso-8859-1. However, to send queries in Java, I have to use Strings (which are normally encoded with UTF). Is it possible to send a Query with a different encoding than UTF?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: The results are displayed wrong after I use INSERT or UPDATE. If I only select from the database, special characters are displayed right.</p>
