Hi guys,

I apologize if this question is not in the right place or if it is answered and
i didn't found the answer.

I have the following problem with a program that I'm developing , i have a MySQL database
with utf8 encoding and I'm trying to connect via Zeos to it from the Delphi 2009.
I'm succeeding on the connection , my numerical data are being displayed correctly but all the strings
in the grid are displayed as (BYTES) (literally this word).

I had tried some configurations with the Zconnection and some suggestions that i found on internet
but there was no progress at all. For testing purposes i downloaded the DAC for Mysql the trial version,
and surprising enough all was working correctly.

The sample program that i use for retrieving data from the DB has a Zconnection , a Ztable and a DBGrid.
No weird configs all default.

Please if you have any suggestion that may it help me please do tell me,

Thank you!
