nothing to do with JDBC or Java, but table (Database) settings in option Charset

check (doubleClick on Table) 1st tab is Coĺumn and indicies, 2nd. Table Options
there are Charset and Collations, sure I don't know someting which Charset is really correct (from exists Arabic Charset & Collation), that's only your job

[Abdel_eid]

the charset and collation was already done but the problem remains

i had become mad i have been more than a week search and my hair began to fall and i don't know where the problem is i have used the charset utf-8 and cp1256 which are used for arabic language but there is no hope :(

[mKorbel]

and cp1256 is CharSet for FileEncode, in case of if you want to write outPut to File, because Native OS, especially Win ... to your regional setting, same for FileInput to JComponents

again check/set/change if is Font(must be instaled in Native OS) valid for JTextField, just by using example from link which I ...
