Japanese Table/Field names in MySQL

[Ziggurat]

Dear All,

I have come up against a problem when converting a Japanese database from MsAccess to MySQL.

Using the export function of MsAccess to transfer the data to an MySQL database, I find that when I view the MySQL table from the MySQL Control Center the Japanese double byte characters have been converted to gibberish. I have tried changing the display properties to display using Japanses fonts but the problem remains.

Is it possible to export tables/fields names which contain Double Byte Characters into MySQL and if so what do I need to do ?

Thank you for your time
