how do I make utf8 the default encoding for my MySQL installation
Is it possible to make utf8 the default for all databases and transactions in a MySQL installation? The current default is Latin1. There is a suggestion on the Web to edit the my.cnf file as follows [mysqld] init_connect=’SET collation_connection = utf8_general_ci’ init_connect=’SET NAMES utf8′ default-character-set=utf8 character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_general_ci skip-character-set-client-handshake On a Mac with MySQL 5.5.17 this produces the error [ERROR] /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: unknown variable 'default-character-set=utf8' The Reference Manual is very tortuous but lacks instructions that are clear to a not very technical user. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org

It also states default-character-set was removed in v5.5.3. You should be able to remove the option. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world...
