I installed mySQL v4.1.7 on windows xp I changed my.ini file two times with different character set. First :default-character-set=utf8 and in my application : codepage=utf8
Second : default-character-set=greek and in my application : codepage=greek (I live in Greece) Running my application I see not difference between those two. Any advice on which one I choose for my final project ? Dimitris
