How to sort results with german umlauts in a UTF8 MySQL Database
Hi there, I have a MySQL 4.1 DB running including a database whose character set is set to utf8. In the database I have a table tblmembers with some records containing german umlauts. How do I sort results with german umlauts if the database character set is set to utf8? Using the SQL query SELECT memberid, lastname FROM tblmembers ORDER BY lastname I get the following result: Makee Maty Mayer März Müller Münze Mebel Meier This sort order is wrong according to german sorting rules. The right sorting order according to german sorting rules is: Makee März Maty Mayer Mebel Meier Müller Münze How can I sort the results in my utf8 database according german sorting rules? Thanks in advance.

According to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/charset-unicode-sets.html you might achieve the effect you want by setting the collation to utf8_unicode_ci Alec -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to sort results with german umlauts in a UTF8 MySQL Database
You could try: SELECT memberid, lastname FROM tblmembers ORDER BY lastname COLLATE latin1_german2_ci ASC It worked in my database. But I dont know, if my database is utf8. By the way: Perhaps you could tell me how I can determine/change the encoding of the database? Kind regards Christian Wollmann Am Freitag, 22.
