Hi All, I am running Mysql version 2.23.42 on Mac OS X version 10.1.
I need to upload few files in Mysql which are in MacRoman Text Encoding. My default installation does not support the MacRoman Encoding. Currently I need to convert the file into ISO-8859-1 encoding before I can run the LOAD DATA INFILE. I am doing this with a text encoding conversion utility called 'Cyclone'. It is a Cocoa Application with all fancy gui and I can not run it silently from the shell. As I move to deploy my database, I would need to upload the files at a frequency of 5 minutes. Of course, this cyclone trick is not the correct answer, even with AppleScripts. What I need to know is: A) Is there any binary for Mac OS X which supports MacRoman Encoding? Mysql AB recently released binaries for Mac OS X (3.23.45 and 3.23.46), do these versions support that? Any future plans about when it would be in place? B) I have seen in the manuals about adding custom text encoding definitions to MySQL. But I am too non-technical to be able to work on that lead. Can someone point me to helpful documents on that? This is very important for my project as everything depends on whether I can even import the data in my database efficiently or not.
