What you mean by explorer pages? Browser? If so you have to set the correct character set at the beginning of each place, whether asp, jsp, php or html.

Thus if your are using mysql for Linux you have to add to the ".configure" parameters the following:(`--with-charset=greek' , '--with-extra-charset=greek'). Also if you have problems viewing greek characters from within a PHP page maybe you have to define the correct encoding for the specific page.
