Hey all,
So I decided to start fresh on a test machine just to see if I could get
french characters working.
These are my steps:
Freshly Installed Mysql 5.0.45
Configure the MySql Server now
Detailed Configuration
Developer Machine
Multifunctional Database
Online Transaction Processing
Enable TCP/IP Networking and Enable Strinct Mode
Best Support for Multilingualism
Install as Windows Service
Created a DB
CREATE DATABASE testdb
CHARACTER SET 'utf8'
COLLATE 'utf8_general_ci';
Created a table:
CREATE TABLE `testtable` (
`id` INTEGER(11) NOT NULL,
`textfield` mediumtext,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`))TYPE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET 'utf8' COLLATE
'utf8_general_ci';
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'char%' produced all utf8
Trying INSERT INTO `testtable` VALUES (1,'é û ê à è'); produced incorrect
string value
DID: SET NAMES utf8; SET CHARACTER SET utf8;
Trying INSERT INTO `testtable` VALUES (1,'é û ê à è'); produced incorrect
string value
Replaced:
sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
with: sql-mode="NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION" in the my.ini
file
restarted mysql
Tried INSERT INTO `testtable` VALUES (1,'é û ê à è'); and was accepted
Select returned nothing in the textfield field
Tried SET NAMES utf8; SET CHARACTER SET utf8;
INSERT INTO `testtable` VALUES (1,'é û ê à è');
again select returned nothing in the texfield field.
Can someone PLEASE explain as to what I am doing wrong and why I cannot get
french characters working in mysql 5??
Thanks
