Everyone -- We have a bibliographic database in which diacritics are impeding search
results. That is to say, we would like for a search of 'zeitschrift fur%' to retrieve records that begin not only with zeitschrift fur but also zeitschrift für (notice the umlaut over the second to last letter in the second item). Currently, the search only retrieves the first type. I've searched through the documentation and there are references to handling specific individual ASCII characters (the character in question above is ASCII character 252), but not a general framework for all ASCII characters. Additionally, there is a way to retrieve the ASCII number assigned to a given character, but not vice versa. Is there any way to have 'ü' match on a 'u' in a search string, etc., etc., etc.? sql TIA, Andy Andy Ingham Systems Librarian Academic Affairs Library UNC-Chapel Hill 919-962-1288 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
