Clojure MySQL Syntax Error Exception ("[...] near '????????????????' [...]")

I'm having trouble doing anything with clojure.contrib.sql beyond establishing a connection.

I have a mysqld running on localhost:3306 with a database called clj_db. The user 'clj_user'@'localhost' with password 'clj_pass' can access this database.

When trying to "select * from clj_table" I get a "com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '????????????????' at line 1".

What am I doing wrong?

clj_db.clj_table

CREATE TABLE `clj_table` (
  `col_one` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `col_two` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

mysql_test.clj

(ns test.mysql
    (:use clojure.contrib.sql)
)

(def db-settings
    {:classname "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    :subprotocol "mysql"
    :subname "//localhost:3306/clj_db"
    :user "clj_user"
    :password "clj_pass"})

(with-connection db-settings
    (with-query-results rs ["select * from clj_table"]
        (dorun (map #(println (:col_one :col_two %)) rs))
    ))

Output

I was having the exact same problem only I was using Java. I found this post and the solution described there worked for me.

The trick was to add "useJvmCharsetConverters=true" to the end of the connection-string.

I've switched to Sun's JDK6 instead of GIJ.

I got "com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure". I found this thread, which really helped me a lot.

I've added the option "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" and it now works fine.

Thanks everybody!

the code looks very similar to the (presumably working) code in This Question
perhaps its a problem with the version of clojure-contrib.

when I macroexpand the code from these two question they come out the same so it seems likely that the problem is not with the contents of mysql_test.clj.
