Hi, new DataMapper user here, apologies if this is a FAQ, I searched (this group and the web in general) and I couldn't find my answer..
I am working with a legacy database that has latin1 character encoding on the tables (and french language high-bit characters) and it seems that DM connects with utf8 (which is the default character encoding of my MySQL client library I guess, or possibly the remote database). I am trying to find out how I can specify the connection encoding via my script and/or DataMapper. I am not using a framework here, just bare bones DataMapper. These are command-line scripts.. Any help would be appreciated. I see mention of an :encoding parameter but I'm not sure where I would pass that in.. Right now I am using the DataMapper.setup() method as follows: DataMapper.setup(:default, 'mysql://user:p...@localhost/dbname') Adding :encoding as a third parameter throws an error. My relevant versions are: ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) data_objects (0.10.0) dm-core (0.10.1) dm-types (0.10.1) dm-validations (0.10.1) Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataMapper" group.
