>Description:
mysql (the client program) does not accept umlauts. It does not react to
keystrokes with ä,ä,ü,ß.
Neither can I enter umlauts using batch input files.
This is independent from the database to which mysql connects. The databases
store umlaut chars in text fields, though,
and select statements retrieve those umlauts, so it is a problem of the
client, not of the server.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install SuSE linux 7.1 on a Sony Vaio N505x (standard installation)
Then install the latest mysql client package (rpm) from the mysql.com website.
