I am waiting for Mysql's UTF8 support as well. NOt sure if the binaries can solve your issue, according what I know, we need to specify the charset information in configuration/compilation time inorder to enable UTF8.
I actually tried to build mysql 4.1 out of the source tree(my system is RH 8.0); the configuration/compilation/installation went through fine, but the server never starts up due to a complaining about charset not properly compiled. I wish you can overcome those issues, and please let me know. -- ian --- Jon Hancock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We are in a critical state with our app. We would > like to dump Oracle 9i > and go to MySQL.
