Collation _can_ be set for individual columns and it sounds like that is
what you need to do. This is also important because each column index
is collation specific and you need your columns to be indexed for the
right collation.

Much has changed with Unicode in MySQL 4.1.3. So you should be sure to
look at the newest bitkeeper source. And be sure to look at
strings/ctype-uca.c. This is the new implementation of the Unicode
Collation Algorithm.

Another thing to consider is that MySQL only supports utf8 characters up
to 3 bytes long. I don't know if this is the case for chinese or not,
but if so that might be another reason to

What client are you using to connect to the server?
If its MyODBC 3.51 then that is your problem. It doesn't support
unicode yet.
If you are using the mysql command line client try "select
Hex(your_column) from your_table;" to see if the proper hex values are
being inserted into the table.

It sounds like you are using the mysql client to display your queries.
You should do:
SELECT HEX(arabic_column) FROM your_table;
to really see what characters are stored in the table. To see the
unicode codepoints you can do this:
SELECT HEX(CONVERT(arabic_column USING ucs2)) FROM your_table;
but can I set multiple "default character set" options to
multiple character sets (EUC-JP, EUC-KR, and ISO-8859-1) rather then just
one.
No, just one in 4.0.x. You have to use 4.1.x for multiple character sets.

No. With the method you're using (storing the parent id with each record)

Why don't you want to use an ORDER BY? I think its the _only_ way to get a
stable order. It sounds like you want to retrieve your rows in the order in
which they were entered. If you don't want an auto_increment field you
could order by a timestamp.
__
The first things you should check:
1. Do \s from the mysql client to be sure its using the character set you
told it to use with default-character-set=latin1. Be sure its the same one
you used on your old server.
2. Since you have the Norwegian keyboard set up try typing Norwegian

You're right. The LIKE comparison only works properly with the Latin
letters in utf8. MySQL hasn't yet fixed it to work with the rest of Unicode
yet. I believe there is a valid LIKE comparison for ucs2. From what I
remember, however, it has problems too if you start putting wildcards at the
Unicode and multiple character sets are not supported until version 4.10.
See section 9 of the manual. 4.1.1 is still alpha but its quite stable if
your server isn't in a production environment.

I don't know what's wrong from your description, but here are some things to

I don't think you can use alter table to change character sets in version 3.23.51.
You must do it at the server level. Try starting mysql with this command line option:

Using CASE... WHEN... THEN in my update query doesn't behave the way I
expect it to. It's using the result of the query in the second WHEN
condition rather than the original value. See this example:
CREATE TABLE t1 (col_a tinyint not null, col_b tinyint not null);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,1);
What command do I use to change the field type in my client_info table
from:
referral_percent | tinyint(4) | YES | NULL
to
referral_percent | double(3,2) unsigned zerofill | YES | NULL
ALTER TABLE yourtable CHANGE referral_percent referral_percent double(3,2)
unsigned zerofill default null;
or:
I don't think you can do what you want in one query if you use the adjacency

hat the utf8 cs uses the "simple" LIKE function--could
that be the problem? LIKE works correctly (case insensitive) for the Latin unicode
