unicode and C API
Hello, I have an InnoDB table running on MySQL 4.1.11 The MySQL server configuration use : default-character-set=utf8 I have a table unicode_tbl with 'default charset set utf8' and a field szWord varchar(50) character set utf8 collate utf8_general_ci. if I use the C API like this : mysql_query (mysql, INSERT INTO db_unicode.unicode_tbl VALUES (6, _utf8 'atüpedâ' COLLATE utf8_general_ci)); I get the string 'at' in my table. If I use the same query in 'MySQL Query Browser' I can get the whole string 'atüpedâ' in my table. To get the same result I have to write : mysql_query (mysql, INSERT INTO db_unicode.unicode_tbl VALUES (6, 'atüpedâ')); Everything works like if the C API only accepts ANSI strings. Is it possible to directly insert an unicode string using the C API ? Is it possible to get in MYSQL_ROW an unicode string after performing a select for example using : swprintf(w_out, _T(%s\n), row[1]); ? If not is MySQL 5.x will allow this ? when ? Thanks in advance Patrice Serrand

What is it? Or more accurately, what do you expect it to do? I ask because that string is probably already in UTF-8 form, if your text editor is UTF-8 aware. The common Unix text editors are, as is the editor in the Visual Studio IDE. I've done very similar things with MySQL++, the C++ wrapper for the C API, which I maintain. http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/ No _utf8 stuff was required. Check out examples/resetdb.cpp and examples/custom3.cpp in the distribution. Everything works like if the C API only accepts ANSI strings. Nonsense. All the C API cares about are null-terminated C strings, which UTF-8 data is. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
