Hi , Does mysql support urf-8 ? It is a good question.
Most of the online , even references say mysql does not support utf-8. But , I have tried this , i am able to insert and get back data with utf-8 format. Many Utilities , like mysqldump properly extract data in utf-8. Simalarly mysql ( client ) also can insert data. However in inter-active session u can't manipulate in utf-8. U can't directly feed , mysql with utf-8 . I think this is where mysql fail to tackle utf-8 data. To finalize , discussion u can use mysql as utf-8 database. But some of the tools with mysql may not work. I have now a complete portal running in mysql + php in utf-8.
