Hi! I want to keep unicode text strings as data in a SQL database and I search for a proper free DBMS. Of course unicode data can be stored as binary data but in a char, varchar column?
I need to insert, get unicode strings into/from databases not modified/altered by locale configs. I need to create an index on this coloumn, maybe with a modifiable sorting order. In fact, I need doing sorting on unicode strings, but not a sort based on binary comparison of data strings. I need at least one API (e.g. C, C++, python, php) which supports unicode based request. What is the mysql status in the unicode field? If mysql cannot do these thinks, can I have some hints... Thanks, Dorin PS: Sorry for errors, I'm rather new to database world... --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
