    joining tables with different code pages

    In my company all tables are configured to use codepage 243 (= EBCDIC German). Cp243 however doesn't support the euro-sign "€". This causes a problem in one particular table, where the users enter freetexts. Cp1141 was developed out of Cp243 to support the euro-sign. Both codepages are nearly...

    Items disappearing in JComboBox

    Whenever I add a JComboBox to a JFrame of JDialog, the items in the JComboBox becomes invisible (but still selectable) when the width of the JComboBox becomes "too" large. That happens under the standard Metal and Nimbus LF, but not under the Windows LF. I'm using Java 6.18 and my PC is running...

    Toplink caching problem

    I have to work with Toplink 10 to read data from a DB2 database. Since I don't want to read from cache, I've added the option dontCheckCache to my ReadAllQuery. Surprisingly enough, Toplink still reads from the cache because occassionly objects are returned that no longer exists on the database...

    How to identify whether a Data contains a calendar date or time

    I'm reading timestamps from an unknown database table (in my case from an MS-Access database). Since I don't know the date/time format of the timestamps the fields could contain a calendar date, a calendar date + time or a time (without the date). Is there a way to identify whether the...

    MS-Access JDBC Type 2 or 4 Driver

    I have problems finding a JDBC type 2 or 4 freeware or open source driver for MS-Access. When "googling around" I only found commercial drivers, which license fees are outragiously expensive. I'm using currently the standard ODBC-JDBC bridge in my opensource project to read a 3rd party MS-Access...

    I've got a problem using the tab-key in a JTable that drives me (and my collegues) crazy. In our JTable we placed ordinary JTextfields and JCheckBoxes. Normally when using the tab-key inside the JTable the border of cell that has the focus is "highlighted". This is also the case in our JTable...
