Character encoding cp1250 warning

[daust]

When running on a Slovenian environment, we get a warning regarding the encoding cp1250.

It seems that the Java engine derives the encoding for the console from the shell it is currently running on. In that case of the Slovenian machine it seems that it is not possible to deal with that codepage.

There is a workaround by setting the encoding explicitly at runtime:

-Dsun.stdout.encoding=Cp1250

Perhaps there is another explanation / workaround.

Here are some references:

It should only affect the output on the console, not even the generated logfiles ... we will test this.

The setting

-Dsun.stdout.encoding=Cp1250

This will not have any negative impact because it only sets the character set for the console output. It does not affect the sql scripts that are executed nor the generated logfiles.
