--- Comment #27 from Bruno <btech...@free.fr> 2011-12-11 13:29:27 UTC --- (In reply to comment #26) >... could it be that this is another name for iso8859? I think yes, In MySQL 5.0 Manual chapter 9.1.13.2. West European Character Sets at this place dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-we-sets.html there are this: "...latin1 is the default character set. MySQL's latin1 is the same as the Windows cp1252 character set. This means it is the same as the official ISO 8859-1..." > I might assume that we can change sql4 in that file to a charset that exists > in > our database, would it hurt to change that to utf8? or what about :- > would this work perhaps? I think this is a possibility But for now, I tested another solution: The database of my wiki is in utf8, so I changed the charset of the table 'Revison' from latin1 to utf8, and then the upgrade completed successfully. I do not know if this is correct, but for now I have not seen any malfunction. Perhaps an old upgrade had functioned poorly, I think in the transition from MySQL 4 to 5, and conversion to utf8. I have not tried a fresh installation, but it would know the charset assigned to each table, and then possibly to correct our bases, or to issue a patch integrated with upgrades. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
