Windows specific characters

2004-09-15 Thread Juan Alvarado
Hello:
 
I have some data in a spreadsheet that I need to load into a database. The data in the 
excel spreadsheet apparently contains windows specific characters. Whenever I import 
the data into my database, those special characters remain and since my database runs 
on an unix platform, I am getting all kinds of UTF-8 encoding problems in a separate 
application that is powered by this data.
 
The tool that I am using to import the data is called Navicat. The folks there say 
that any data that contains double byte characters will be imported as such. So my 
question is if anybody knows of a tool that will get rid of those double byte 
characters or windows specific characters and replace them with standard ones.
 
Thanks in advance

Problem with imported data from mysqldump file

2004-09-13 Thread Juan Alvarado
I am generating a backup of a database using mysqldump and using that dumped file to 
repopulate another database.
 
The dump and import process work just fine, BUT I am having some problems in my 
application with some enconding issues.
 
For example, one of the rows that mysqldump outputs is the following:
INSERT INTO ap_step VALUES (9,'Determine if former employee’s UID’s are re-assigned. 
And if so, determine if a process exists for evaluating user rights.',3,3);
 
As you can see the second column has some text with some single quotes.
 
When I import the generated dumped file into the new database, I lose the single 
quotes in the text and this is causing some UTF-8 encoding problems in my application.
 
 select ap_step from ap_step where ap_step_id =9;
++
| ap_step  
  |
++
| Determine if former employees UIDs are re-assigned. And if so, determine if a 
process exists for evaluating user rights. |
++

You will notice from the above query that the single quotes are gone. Whenever I 
remove this row from the table, my application works just fine. This is why I am 
almost certain that there is some encoding issues here. I need to be able to load my 
data back into the new database exactly as it is coming out of the old one.
 
One thing that I do want to note is that the dumped file is generated in Windows XP 
and it is loaded into a new database in a Unix environment.
 
If anyone could please point out some ideas I would appreciate it as this is basically 
a show stopper for us right now.
 
Thanks in advance
