Problem tested using both version 4.0.18 and 4.1.1 This query gets first byte of utf8 character, not two bytes
If I use SELECT LEFT(FieldName, 2) AS FirstLetter, COUNT(*) FROM TableName GROUP BY FirstLetter gets right utf8 characters but others wrong for example; +--------+-------+ | Ai | 1 | | Ak | 9 | | Ar | 33 | | İ | 8 | I couldn't find 4.1.2 dev source for testing. Can you tell me how I can get it please. Does anybody knows another solution except getting dev source? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy March" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2004 5:34 AM Subject: re: utf8 - left function > > Hi, > > > > I need this query; > > > > SELECT LEFT(FieldName, 1) AS FirstLetter, COUNT(*) FROM TableName > > GROUP BY FirstLetter > > > > my datas in utf8 format.

You are using a 4.1.x version, right? > It definitely would not work before 4.1. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
