Re: Character encoding problem
Hello, Thanks for the info, For the dump, I would imagine that it is latin1 as mysql 4.x is defaulted to that I beleive.

Re: Character encoding problem
Hello, After I dump the database in and change everything to utf8(or if I try to dump and make them all utf8 on the dump) I get an incorrect string value error when trying to put french characters in.

You can convert it using iconv: http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2004/07/18/converting-mysql-database-contents-to-utf-8/ There's a Win version available if you don't already have it: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm Be sure to edit the CHARSET refs in the dumpfile, though: sed -i 's/latin1/utf8/g' dump.sql This article may be useful: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/4.1/unicode.html brian -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
