I just installed mysql fresh out of the box on a fresh SuSE linux 7.1. mysql does not let me enter german umlauts, though. I tried to start it with "mysql --default-character-set=latin_de", but it complained about the character sets not being installed. Then I installed the mysql server, which in turn installs the character sets. latin_de is not included, though. I tried it with "mysql --default-character-set=german1" instead. No luck.
This is not a general problem of my system's configuration. Umlauts work from the console, in xterm and konsole and all other editors and programs - except mysql. Does anyone know why? I did not have this problem with earlier mysql installations and do not have it on other machines. s.m. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
