I'm having a problem setting the charset to unicode (utf-8). If I understood what I read I can set each table to support a charset. But what I want to do is set the default charset for a database to be utf-8. Is this possible? If so how?
Yes, it's possible from version 4.1.0.
CREATE DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8;

Oh boy, that will be a pain. I use a GUI (Navicat and EMS MySQL Manager) and so far have not seen a way for me to make it create a table with a default character set. Nor even change it.
Um, what?
If you specify a default character set when you create a database, any table created in that database will have the same character set by default. Is that not what you are asking?
Well at least I know it's possible. Thanks.
