This problem's similar to one I posted earlier re Russian and English characters in a database. I'm using the .net MySQLDriverCS driver. Are you saying that MySQL tables can hold unicode? If so, how do I set it up to do so? If not, how can I store Russian and English characters in MySQL? Will I have to create 2 identical databases one using the Russian characterset and the other using latin1? Can I even do this?

MySQL does support non-english locales, see http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Localisation.html Multiple locales per database won't be supported until MySQL-4.1 If you are using JDBC (and you are), you can use UTF-8 to store multiple charsets in your data, just add "useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8" to your JDBC url (this is covered in the README for the JDBC driver) -Mark - -- For technical support contracts, visit https://order.mysql.com/?ref=mmma __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mark Matthews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Full-Time Developer - JDBC/Java /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Flossmoor (Chicago), IL USA <___/ www.mysql.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.1.90 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE95NE6tvXNTca6JD8RAi5cAJ49+dxynCUpcj3ZCBIPR0HLtdNMzgCbB34E MQB5jHPHD3q1yS5zXElI6ng= =MpVd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
