Re: [Koha-devel] Investigations on Perl, MySQL & UTF-8

[Pierrick LE GALL]

Hi koha-devel,

On last IRC meeting session (2006-04-10), Joshua asked me to check if
the MySQL utf8 conversion was fine on my data set, see details on IRC
[1].

I've created a pure latin1 table with French names containing
accentuated characters. Then, I executed the query from updatedatabase:

ALTER TABLE strings CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;

And I confirm my names were all converted to utf8. *No need* of the
second query:

ALTER TABLE strings DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE
utf8_general_ci;
