Hi, I have a need to store many languages (Japanese, Korean, Spanish, English..) in the same mysql db. I also need to search for these strings to see if they are already in the db for updates. Of course, this is a problem since the charset setting drives the logic for searching. I've browsed over posts about problems with sorting/searching mixed Japanese/English/other languages.
Is the only option available to me is to preprocess these strings into something (Unicode ?) before storing and searching for them in the DB. Thanks.
