Why is MyISAM problematic...
MyISAM is a storage engine with some features... InnoDB is another
storage engine with other features... and so on...
As far as I know MyISAM is default storage engine... unless you
specify by hand another storage engine:
CREATE TABLE xyz (colX INT NULL) ENGINE=_STORAGE_ENGINE_
I used UTF8 with MyISAM... and with InnoDB for Romanian characters and
Chinese characters... and any combination worked well...
And as far as I know... instead of all those commands you can issue:
SET NAMES utf8;
and it will suffice... I know it does for me !
Thanks, Gabriel. What exactly is the "NAMES" in "SET NAMES utf8;"? Why
can't I find any reference to it?
