Hello.
I've been able to insert Russian characters (utf8) through the
QueryBrowser under Linux (FC4). Please, could you provide CREATE
statement for you table
CREATE TABLE `WebNewsPostings` (
`PRID` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`MyStamp` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`DateDay` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`DateMonth` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`DateYear` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`CopyTitle` varchar(255) character set latin1 NOT NULL default '',
`CopyMain` mediumtext character set latin1 NOT NULL,
`Image` varchar(50) character set latin1 default '',
`Language` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`PRID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
I don't know what those individual 'character set latin1' bits are. I
haven't been messing with per-field character sets - I've just been
using mysql-administrator to change the character set for the entire
table. But anyway, the source *IS* latin1, so maybe this shouldn't be a
problem anyway?
and output of:
show variables like '%char%';
mysql> show variables like '%char%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |

As far as I know, QueryBrowser invokes SET NAMES 'utf8' by default.
And the only way to force it to use your connection character sets is to
run a transaction. Are characters that you're pasting into QueryBrowser
displayed correctly in the query tab?
Yes. They display correctly - both in query browser AND in my Perl Gtk2
app. What's more, when I inspect the binary query log, the same sequence
of reverse-coloured characters is used to represent the characters that
are giving problems. Which ever method I use to get the data in ( query
browser / in-house Perl Gtk2 app ), the data *looks* perfect when I
paste it in, but when I return to look at it later it's corrupted.
Thanks for the reply, by the way :)
