I assume you have created a "dump" of the data from production and copied it to your local MySQL version.
Also I assume you are comparing the same records on dev & production ("comparing apples to apples") Check the character set (also known as "encoding") and collation settings on the table (on both your dev and production database) to make sure they are the same. see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-table.html for an explanation Note that these are set on a table-by-table basis. Because MySQL was originally invented in Sweden, the historical default for the character encoding is utf8_sweedish_ci. Typically people change that to utf8_unicode_ci Once you verify they are identical on both machines, if you want to fix them on Production you'll want to use a Rails migration. see also... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5906585/change-database-collation -Jason On Nov 20, 2014, at 9:39 AM, Vladimir Gordeev <gordeev.vladimi...@gmail.com> wrote: > but i don"t understand why it worked normally on my local computer and coming > from the same databse > > Dear sir, how do you define "same"?
