I'm using import.sql to write my development data to DB. I'm using MySQL Server 5.5 and my persistence.xml is here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Some characters in my import.sql is not shown correctly in DB. For example character ü becomes ü in db. Default charset in mysql is utf-8 and I'm creating tables like
CREATE TABLE doctor (doctorId int unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, name varchar(45) NOT NULL, surname varchar(45) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (doctorId)) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
It is weird that if I import using Mysql import/export manager data is correct but using hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create makes characters corrupted.
How can I solve this?
Edit: Also I've tried adding
<property name="hibernate.connection.useUnicode" value="true" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.characterEncoding"
value="UTF-8" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.charSet" value="UTF-8" />
to persistence.xml. But it didn't help.
Fix: I've solved it eventually. I'm using Tomcat and that is the point of corruption not hibernate or mysql. I've started it with set JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 command and my problem goes away.
The title of question became misleading now. Sorry for that.
