Hi all.
I have some code which was working brilliantly, but just stopped :(
I'm importing stuff in to a temporary table, mangling it considerably,
then importing it into the final destination table.
The tmp table is created:
create temporary table tmp_AAPT_OnlineAnalyser_ChargeTypeSummary (
Statement_Date varchar(100),
Account_Number varchar(100),
Invoice_Number varchar(100),
Service_Number varchar(100),
Service_Type varchar(100),
Description_of_Charge varchar(100),
Type_of_Charge varchar(100),
Charge varchar(100),
Supplier varchar(100),
Type_of_Product varchar(100)
)
The ( 1st ... there are many )statement that raises the error is:
update tmp_AAPT_OnlineAnalyser_ChargeTypeSummary set
Account_Number=replace(Account_Number, ' ', '')
HOWEVER, the space inside the quotes is created in Perl with:
my $space_thing = chr(160);
We have to do this because the data is copied and pasted from a web page
( AAPT won't provide the data in any other format ). chr(160) is some
'alternative' space character or something.
Anyway, this used to work fine, but now it gives:
Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT),
(utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE), (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation
'replace'
I have no idea what it's talking about. How do I fix it?
