Hi MySQL community, As some of you, I did a presentation at the UC2004 about "Using MySQL in a Japanese environment - and avoiding common pitfalls", which can also be found online.
http://www.be-known-online.com/mysql/ During the first 6 months I had so far 250 downloads, only for this single article on my homepage and probably many more on MySQLs homepage. http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/users-conference/2004/ Thank you very much for anybody who showed interest. As most of you know, the call for papers just started. 1) I am thinking about continuing the national character / Unicode issues and would like to hear which issues you have, what bothers you most. I am already considering the following suggestion: a) exploring national Character Sets / Java environment issues (supported fonts & functions by Sun, IBM etc..) The follow up title would probably be something like "Using MySQL in a Japanese environment - xxxxx" Please send any ideas, suggestions or any rant you might want to leave ;-) 2) If my time allows it, I am considering to apply for holding a half day workshop. I would naturally tend to expand the national character set issues, which will allow to explore the issues described with national characters more detailed. Anybody interested in this kind of topic ? Note: No need to reply if not, otherwise my mail server might crash ;-) -- Greetings from Tokyo Nils Valentin http://www.be-known-online.com/mysql/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
