Hi, Currently we are trying to load Unicode data encoded in UTF-8 to mySQL but the data is getting corrupted during load. Loading is done through Informatica (ETL Tool) and data is properly extracted and interpreted by Informatica but still it is failing to load it in the correct format. When we are trying to insert the same data manually it is successful i.e. data is getting loaded to mySQL successfully. Also when loading is done to a flat file or Oracle then also loading is happening as usual.
Given below are the details: Server: MySQL Version: 5.1.51-enterprise-gpl-pro-log mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%'; +--------------------------+----------------------------+ Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | character_set_client | utf8 | character_set_connection | utf8 | character_set_database | utf8 | character_set_filesystem | binary | character_set_results | utf8 | character_set_server | utf8 | character_set_system | utf8 | character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ +--------------------------+----------------------------+ Mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'collation%'; +----------------------+-------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +----------------------+-------------------+ | collation_connection | utf8_unicode_ci | collation_database | utf8_unicode_ci | collation_server | utf8_unicode_ci +----------------------+-------------------+ Table details: Column Data type: TEXT Collation: utf8 - utf8_unicode_ci Engine: InnoDB Column Collation: Table Default ODBC DRIVER: 6.0 Please suggest based on the above settings what we can do to load Unicode data.
