Hiya! Any help would be appreciated. Not sure if I should send to a MySQL list, or this one ( I didn't want to cross post), so sorry if not applicable. If this is not ok to ask in this group, can someone tell me please!
Because from what I understand, MySQL supports unicode, but various features including ordering are not fully implemented which the website my company is developing needs. The website will be launched soon, and I believe the version of MySQL with the full Unicode support will not be available in time. Therefore I am going live with Western European encoding, which will suffice for the moment. I was just wondering if I do go live with Western European, is there, or will there be some sort of conversion tool or function to convert the database? Or would I need to export the entire database to a text file, convert the encoding of the text file. Then convert the tables to unicode, and then re-import the data. Because the database will be over 2 gig (using MyISAM Raid so MySQL can support this), this will not be easy, as I will have to export parts, convert parts, and then re-import them. THANKS!
