Hello All I am new to MySQL 3.23.42 and I installed it on a Windows 2000 system. I need a database with both English and Arabic records (the fields name not necessarily in Arabic). I searched the archive of the list and the manual and although I found some messages about Arabic, I could not figure out the following: - Is there an Arabic character set for MySQL? if not how do we create one (I read in one message that it might be possible)? - I did not really understood how to install the character set if it exists. - Should the operating system support Arabic for MySQL to work in this language? (no problem with Win 2000, but I will host my site on a Linux or Unix server). Thank you very much in advance
