Hi all,
I need a database that is able to handle french characters. I read the "Mysql
Reference Manual" and have done the following in a table to test the
different results but I wasn't successful which leads me to believe I am
doing something wrong... and yes, I'm a noob. ;)
CREATE TABLE companies (
c1 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET utf8,
c2 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci,
c3 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET latin1,
c4 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_general_ci,
c5 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET dec8,
c6 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET dec8 COLLATE dec8_bin,
c7 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET hp8,
c8 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET hp8 COLLATE hp8_bin,
c9 VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET cp850,
c10 CHAR(30) NOT NULL,
c11 TEXT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_general_ci
);
When I insert "'Récré, Vive La Fête!" the best I get is "R?cr?, Vive La F?te!"
from "c11".
Can anyone advise me on what I need done to get these accents show up?
Pointers to more documentation are also welcome.
Many thanks,
-Ed
