Hi

The actual error in the exception log is:

java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='

Apparently there is an illegal setup in MySQL. You should tweak your
mysql collation settings.
I've never seen such an error before.

I'm not sure where to tweak these in Windows (I'm more accustomed to Linux setups). Any clues?

It's also worth mentioning, I used mysql 5, and set it to use UTF8 encoding; this seems to be related. Maybe I should re-install using latin1?
