Dear Gabor,
You must include «mysql_enable_utf8 => 1» hash record in the connection
attributes used when you create the DBI handle
my %conn_attrs = (RaiseError => $RaiseError,
PrintError => $PrintError,
AutoCommit => $AutoCommit,
mysql_enable_utf8 => 1);
my $dbh = DBI->connect
($dsn, $user_name, $password, \%conn_attrs);

Subject: utf8 and mysql
Hi,
I am quite lost at this utf8 issue:
I have a file that I opened with
open(my $KEYWORDS, "<:encoding(UTF-8)", $keywords_file) as I read the rows I
can print them to a log file (that was opened using open(my $fh,
'>>:encoding(UTF-8)', $log_name) and it looks ok.
I insert it into the 'text' field of a table that was created like this:
CREATE TABLE terms (
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
text VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
language_id INT NOT NULL,
UNIQUE(text, language_id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM CHARSET=utf8;
Then I read it back using SELECT and when I try to print it to the log file I
get garbage there.
Calling decode('UTF-8', $t->{text})) fixes the problem, but wonder if I should
not get the data back correctly?
I tried connecting to mysql with two different connections strings:
"DBI:mysql:database=$attr->{database};host=$attr->{host};mysql_enable_utf8=1",
"DBI:mysql:database=$attr->{database};host=$attr->{host}",
and I tried to call
$dbh->do('SET NAMES utf8');
immediately after the connection was established, but neither helped.
Using perl 5.18 on OSX with DBI 1.627 DBD::mysql 4.023 MySQL itself is 5.6.10
Oh and if I connect to the database using the mysql client, it shows the text
correctly.
your suggestions would be really appreciated
regards
Gabor
