> Hi,
> I encountered an encoding issue while importing a Netezza table containing ISO-8859-15 encoded VARCHAR. Using direct mode, non ASCII chars are corrupted. That does not occur using non-direct mode.
> Actually, direct mode uses a Netezza "external table", i.e. it flushes the table into a stream using "internal" encoding (in my case, it is ISO-8859-15).
> But Sqoop import mapper reads this stream as an UTF-8 one.
> That problem does not occur using non direct mode since it uses Netezza JDBC driver to map fields directly to Java types (no stream encoding involved).
> To have that issue fixed in my environment, I modified sqood netezza connector and added a parameter to specify netezza varchar encoding. Default value will be UTF-8 of course. I will make a pull request on github to propose that enhancement.
> Regards
