Marten Lehmann napsal(a):
Hello,

I have a table like this:

CREATE TABLE `places` (
  `name` varchar(256) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY  (`name`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci |

Then I want to insert two values:

pjöngjang.com and
pjongjang.com

But on the second record I get this message:

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Duplicate entry 'pjongjang' for key 1

Whats wrong with it? The character set and collation set is defined as utf8, so mysql should see a difference between "ö" and "o".

Regards
Marten


It's not problem of charset but collation. Try to change collation to utf8_bin if it's possible. "ö" and "o" are of course stored as two different chars in utf8 but collation gives them weight for correct ordering and probably in utf8_unicode_ci collation they have same weight.

HTH,
Dusan
