Hi, How do I use a characeter set different from the server default? Server is configured to use latin1 as default character set. But for some occasions, I'd like to switch to big5 characeter set.
I tried to edit ~/.my.cnf and added [mysql] default-character-set=big5 But show variables still says: character set latin1. Insertions of certain Chinese characeter that has \ in it cannot be properly escaped and end up being garbled. Please shed some lights here.
