Hi all,
Would like to ask a few questions on how to go about compiling support for a
multibyte character set into MySQL.
When I compile by default without specifying any character sets, it's
supposed to compile in ALL character sets. Yet, when I try to run a mysql
daemon that was compiled in this manner, the option
"--with-character-set=gb2312" will result in an error that says they can't
find the specified character set. Why is this?
When I compile using the "./configure --with-charset=gb2312" does it mean
that ONLY the gb2312 character set will be used? what do I do to specify
that mysql is compiled with a few character sets?
When I run mysqld with the "--with-character-set=gb2312", what kind of
behaviour can i expect when i sort normal Latin ascii text then? I'm running
2 websites that searches a mysql engine when running a search, one English
website and one Chinese GB website. When mysql is running the default
ISO-8859-1 character set, the Chinese website wouldn't work correctly. When
running the gb2312 character set, the Chinese website works, but I'm worried
about the English one then, hence my question. If possible, I'd like to
avoid having to run 2 instances of the mysql daemon, and consequentually 2
instances of the Apache daemon as well.
Thanks for any answers
Wong
