I have run the 'show variables' query on my database and see that the default character set is latin-1, and 'character_sets' includes 'hebrew'.
So I tried the following command alter database presale default character set hebrew; only to be awarded with a 'you have an error in your SQL syntax' message. 'Alter table' gives the same message. I even copy and pasted the example in the online documentation, which gave me the same answer. I am using version 3.23.51 on linux. -----Original Message----- From: Noamn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 26, 2003 8:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mySQL in Hebrew Does anyone have any experience of working with mySQL in Hebrew? The front end to my database is written in Delphi/Windows; it transmits Hebrew characters and displays Hebrew characters. The backend is in mySQL/Linux, and what was Hebrew appears in English characters. The only problem which I have with this is that almost every table has a 'name' index, and the names aren't sorted in the correct order. I had a quick glance at the documentation regarding internationalisation and didn't completely understand it, so I am asking for help. Would it be a good idea to build a translation table, ie 'aleph' = 'a' and comes first in the sorting order?
