RE: Problem with character set and connection collation
Well, if latin1 is not CP-1252, then that explains why it didn't fix my problem; but here's what 5.0.45-community-nt says: mysql> show character set; +--+-+-++ | Charset | Description | Default collation | Maxlen | +--+-+-++ | big5 | Big5 Traditional Chinese| big5_chinese_ci | 2 | | dec8 | DEC West European | dec8_swedish_ci | 1 | | cp850| DOS West European | cp850_general_ci| 1 | | hp8 | HP West European| hp8_english_ci | 1 | | koi8r| KOI8-R Relcom Russian | koi8r_general_ci| 1 | | latin1 | cp1252 West European| latin1_swedish_ci | 1 | | latin2 | ISO 8859-2 Central European | latin2_general_ci | 1 | | swe7 | 7bit Swedish| swe7_swedish_ci | 1 | | ascii| US ASCII| ascii_general_ci| 1 | | ujis | EUC-JP Japanese | ujis_japanese_ci| 3 | | sjis | Shift-JIS Japanese | sjis_japanese_ci| 2 | | hebrew | ISO 8859-8 Hebrew | hebrew_general_ci | 1 | | tis620 | TIS620 Thai | tis620_thai_ci | 1 | | euckr| EUC-KR Korean | euckr_korean_ci | 2 | | koi8u| KOI8-U Ukrainian| koi8u_general_ci| 1 | | gb2312 | GB2312 Simplified Chinese | gb2312_chinese_ci | 2 | | greek| ISO 8859-7 Greek| greek_general_ci| 1 | | cp1250 | Windows Central European| cp1250_general_ci | 1 | | gbk | GBK Simplified Chinese | gbk_chinese_ci | 2 | | latin5 | ISO 8859-9 Turkish | latin5_turkish_ci | 1 | | armscii8 | ARMSCII-8 Armenian | armscii8_general_ci | 1 | | utf8 | UTF-8 Unicode | utf8_general_ci | 3 | | ucs2 | UCS-2 Unicode | ucs2_general_ci | 2 | | cp866| DOS Russian | cp866_general_ci| 1 | | keybcs2 | DOS Kamenicky Czech-Slovak | keybcs2_general_ci | 1 | | macce| Mac Central European| macce_general_ci| 1 | | macroman | Mac West European | macroman_general_ci | 1 | | cp852| DOS Central European| cp852_general_ci| 1 | | latin7 | ISO 8859-13 Baltic | latin7_general_ci | 1 | | cp1251 | Windows Cyrillic| cp1251_general_ci | 1 | | cp1256 | Windows Arabic | cp1256_general_ci | 1 | | cp1257 | Windows Baltic | cp1257_general_ci | 1 | | binary | Binary pseudo charset | binary | 1 | | geostd8 | GEOSTD8 Georgian| geostd8_general_ci | 1 | | cp932| SJIS for Windows Japanese | cp932_japanese_ci | 2 | | eucjpms | UJIS for Windows Japanese | eucjpms_japanese_ci | 3 | +--+-+-++ Regards, Jerry Schwartz The Infoshop by Global Information Incorporated 195 Farmington Ave. Farmington, CT 06032 860.674.8796 / FAX: 860.674.8341 www.the-infoshop.com www.giiexpress.com www.etudes-marche.com >-Original Message- >From: Tim McDaniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 12:19 PM >Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com >Subject: RE: Problem with character set and connection collation > >On Mon, 28 Apr 2008, Jerry Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> A week or so ago I explored this in depth because I was having the >> same problems.

RE: Problem with character set and connection collation
A week or so ago I explored this in depth because I was having the same problems. (It was affecting an English file that had some Windows (CP-1252) characters that didn't directly map to UTF-8. That message is at http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/212392. I didn't mention it in my posting, but latin1 is CP-1252. I couldn't get that to work, either. I don't know how it would apply directly to your situation, but I think you are running into a similar kind of problem. I also can't guarantee that my conclusions were entirely correct. Perhaps someone else can add to this.

Re: Problem with character set and connection collation
Hi Sulo, Open the file you are importing as it is probably that it contains references of another character set in the table creation. If so replace that character set for '' or 'utf8'. I hope it helps, Leandro sulochan acharya wrote: Hello all, here is my problem: I am trying to set mysql to unicode character, so that i can get my dictionary application to look at words in Nepali. here is my setting: mysql charset: utf-8 unicode when i make a new database: mysql connection collation is utf8-general-ci and my new database collation is also utf-general-ci i import tables into this database using mysql command : source /path to file when i browse the tables in this database i dont see nepali world instead it seems like mysql cant read the characters; please help!! best, sulo -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
