Hello, I have a table with the following column among others:
text VARCHAR(120) CHARACTER SET utf8 The provider I am using however only offers MySQL version 3.23.58, so I cannot use this statement. At first I thought I was not going to be able to store UTF8. So I changed the column to the following: text VARCHAR(120) However, when I submit data from a web interface, much to my surprise, I was able to store some Chinese characters, which no doubt take up two bytes in UTF8. Great!!! Can anyone explain why this is and what exactly is going on under the hood? Just curious, Thanks, Neil -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
