I would like to do a query such as: SELECT title FROM books WHERE title LIKE '%Francais%';
And in return get:
+----------+ | title | +----------+ | Français | +----------+
Does the "CHARACTER SET utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci" allow for this?
How would one set the collation of international characters with english characters for searching?
Thanks Andrew

All of the unicode collations listed in the reference manual except the binary collations are not sensitive to diacritical marks. That is, if I do the following:
create table t ( filename varchar(260) ) type=InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci;
-- insert an e-acute
insert into t values ( x'c3a9' );
mysql> select * from t where filename = 'e'; +------+ | f | +------+ | é | +------+
The problem is that e really isn't the same as e-acute for the file system. Ideally, what I want is a collation that is case insensitive, but is sensitive to diacritical symbols, but a case sensitive collation would be okay if it were sensitive to diacritical symbols? Is there none available for utf8 as the manual indicates? If not, how difficult would it be to develop one?
I am using 4.1.3 on Mac OS X.
