Hello, I read that version 3.23 and later do accent insensitive searches when using LIKE in the query. However, I'm still having problems getting accent insensitive searches to work. I made a test page: http://www.sedl.org/accents.html to search a small database of names. There are four names, each entered twice, with one version of each name including an accent over one of the vowels. When I search for Jose (with accented e) it finds the unaccented Jose, but not the accented version. Very strange. Is this a characterset issue? or some other setting? The system says its running MySQL 3.23.41 Client characterset: latin1 Server characterset: latin1 Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
