Hi there, I'm using Mysql server version:5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4 (Ubuntu) I have a doubt using accent-insensitive searches in mysql
I created a database with character set utf8 with a lots of names inside, something like that: mysql> select name from users; +--------------------+ | name | +--------------------+ | admin | | andre | | zeze | | andré | | ándré | | Alexandré | | Alexándré | | álexándré | | aálexándré | | áálexándré | | áálexándréeeee | | alexandre | +--------------------+ I would like to search "andre" all related lines with or without accents, I've tried this query mysql> select name from users where nome like "%andre%"; +-----------+ | nome | +-----------+ | andre | | alexandre | +-----------+ but I would like to have all results including andre, andré, ándré, .... . Just to add Ive tried select nome from usuarios where nome like _utf8 "%andré%" collate utf8_general_ci; and occurs the same as search without accentuation, and I tried to change character set to latin1 and nothing changed... I'm really lost in this problem Do anybody have some idea to help me? Thanks in advance. Andre Durao
