I have this scenario: when a use sql explorer to retrieve data from my tables it shows the data right. Specially those chars like grades Celcios, Umlaut, etc. The JVM uses the encoding Cp1252. 

But when I write to the standard output the same data using the same encoding Cp1252 and JVM the data is displayed wrongly. 

In order to undertand how SqlExplorer works i have downloaded the sources but i must admit that it's a heavy task -to understand the whole thing-.

I appreciate any help regarding how the information is retrieved and how it deals with the database encoding, which java files do that... I want to see how sqlExplorer resolves these issues and in order to incorporate this solution into my code, provide the licence permits it.

thanks.
