added to support character set encodings.  However I noticed that the
encoding that is used isn't obtained from the DB.  Since Java uses
unicode UCS2 internally the character set encoding is used to translate
strings from/to the DB encoding.  So it seems logical that the code
would get the encoding from the DB instead of the current method of
requiring the user pass it as a parameter.

Attached is a patch that gets the DB encoding from the DB in the same
