Hello,

I have the following problem with a java application:

Since I updated my mysql driver version 3 to version 5 
(mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar) I get funny strings like 
"[B@b57546" when I format datetime columns with the date_format function 
instead of the correct formatted date string.

When I execute the statement with HeidiSQL or another DB client directly 
everything is working fine, also when I switch back to 
mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar.

Does anybody know this problem and a solution for this?

Thanks
Jens
