Description

In version 1.8.5, I was able to do this on command line:

groovy xyz.groovy jdbc:sybase:Tds:host:port/mydb?charset=iso_1

But in version 1.8.6, I will get:

The syntax of the command is incorrect because of the '?'.

It's not a problem of Groovy per se, but of the shell which interprets certain characters specifically.
You should put quotes around the whole driver URL, and it should be okay.

When using 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 under windows with groovy.exe it accepts the question mark and when using groovy.bat in both cases it gives the syntax error. Using double quotes doesn't seem to always fix the problem, so I am unsure what workaround to use for now except using the .exe version.
