Default Character Set
I have a problem with character set client and connection. I have all tables in cp1250_czech_cs collation and I have set a global session character_set_client, character_set_connection and character_set_result to cp1250. When I make a connection to the database in PHP (mysqli_connect()) and execute a query SHOW SESSION VARIABLES; it return that character_set_client, character_set_connection and character_set_client is set to latin1.
What can I do, when I want to set this variables to cp1250 as default? (and not use SET NAMES cp1250; in each script).

Default Character Set And Collations
I was just asked to look at a server with MySQL DB on it and upgrade it to the latest. I've done this before, but never in another language. The current server is using 4.0 and they wish to upgrade to latest. The problem is that they use Japanese throughout the DB data and I don't know what characterset/collation the DBs are in. I know that 4.0 doesn't have UTF-8, so what would they be? I check the system variables for default charset and it is Latin1. The people who were "taking care" of the server think the db's are ja-utf-8 but that option is not in the list of available charsets.

4.1 - Character Set
I,ve upgraded MySQL from RPM-s to ver. 4.1.9 After that, all varchar fields hava a collation set to latin1_swedish_ci - that makes me impossible to do any changes with PhpMyAdmin, because I use polish language (iso-8859-2 or pl-utf-8) Is there a possibility to change server settings, all databases and fields collation to latin2 without loose any data... Env. seetings (showed by PhpMyAdmin): Variables Session Global character set client utf8 latin1 character set connection latin2 latin1 character set database latin1 latin1 character set results utf8 latin1 character set server latin1 latin1 character set system utf8 utf8 collation connection latin2_general_ci latin1_swedish_ci collation database latin1_swedish_ci latin1_swedish_ci collation server latin1_swedish_ci latin1_swedish_ci

Set Character Set?
I am having problems with my character set - and as a result, certain characters get converted. I changed the column collation to "utf8_general_ci", but it didn't work. When I use phpMyAdmin to edit the field, it updates properly, but when done from PHP it doesn't work (but if I echo the value right before insert, it shows up properly) What do I need to do? I was told I need to change 'character_set_client', but I don't even know where/how to edit it.

Specifying Default ''
does specifying default make the table smaller, like setting_title varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', instead of setting_title varchar(32) NOT NULL, make the entire row smaller, instead of a blank 32?

Bad? Id Int(11) DEFAULT '0'
I'm trying to install the authlib module that's required for the open-source iOutliner web-based outliner (http://ioutliner.com), but it fails halfway through when creating the tables: //Bad! /* SQL Error: Invalid default value for 'id' */ $query = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE authlib_data ( id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment, name text NOT NULL, email text NOT NULL, age int(3) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, sex text NOT NULL, school text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) )"); //Bad! /* SQL Error: Invalid default value for 'id' */ $query = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE authlib_login ( id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment, username text NOT NULL, password text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) )"); According to Google, DEFAULT '(0)' seems a legit instruction. What's wrong with this?

8 Bit Character Sets
All I know is that there are 8 bit numbers from 0 to 255 mapped to characters like A, B, C, D and some strange looking ones (like the ones used to make boxes in old PC text modes) all these being called ASCII characters.So, what in a nutshell does "character sets" mean and how are they helpful in displaying multiple languages ?

Character Set In The Same Table
I'd like to be able to store both English and Korean in my table. Currently, it only supports English. I understand that I can use the command: Alter Table my_table [DEFAULT CHARACTER SET euckr] [euckr_korean_ci] to alter my table to have Korean as my default character set. But will I be able to store English? What if I want default to be English and still be able to support other (more than 3) languages, how would I alter my table?

Character Set & Length
The default encoding of MySQL is latin1. So, textual data should be interpreted as 8-bit character. Is that right? If the default character set to , say big5, in server startup, will MySQL interpretes all textual data as 16-bit character? e.g. in latin1 encoding the word "hello" is stored as : hello (5 characters + null terminator) how will it be interpreted if the default encoding is changed to big5? Will each 8-bit character be extended to 16-bit representation? Or will 2 8-bit characters combine to form 1 16-bit character?

[4.0.20] Set Character Set / Bug In Replication?
I've got two Linux x86 servers: master and slave, both with MySQL 4.0.20 from the same package. On the master I do: SET CHARACTER SET cp1250_latin2; UPDATE `my_tab` SET `my_field`='my_cp1250_string'; and got this in both master's and slave's log. On master the data is properly translated into latin2 and I get latin2 characters in my_field. On slave I don't, there are still cp1250 characters. I think, although not 100% sure, thas this worked okey in 4.0.18. Any ideas?

Lowercase Character
A user wants to convert an entire database to uppercase. Rather than saying set column_name = upper(column_name) to every varchar column in the database, I would like to check for the existence of lowercase characters first. I may find something that needs to be lowercase and would prefer to run it by the user. I hate global changes when I am not familiar with the contents of the database.

Wildcard Character?
My normal search strings contain the variable 'SaleNo' such as, search.php?SaleNo=70&Description=Silver etc...... SaleNo is a column in the database ranging from 1 through to 74 currently. Is there are a wildcard character which would resturn results from any sale number? ie search.php?SaleNo=%&Description=Silver etc...... So the wildcard would effectively stop the SaleNo variable from being part of the query. the sql is along the lines of: WHERE SaleNo LIKE $varSaleNo AND Description LIKE 'varDescription'

Character Set And Collation
I am new to MySQL and transferring a database from MSSQL 2000 to MySQL. When creating a view the character_set defaults to utf8. I want it to be latin1. If I specify latin1 for the field in the view it works ok. Like: SELECT _latin1 'Client Accounts' AS AccountName Is there a central place where I can change it permanently so I don’t have to specify it in every view? I have the following settings: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'char%'; 'character_set_client', 'utf8' 'character_set_connection', 'utf8' 'character_set_database', 'latin1' 'character_set_results', 'utf8' 'character_set_server', 'latin1' 'character_set_system', 'utf8' 'character_sets_dir', 'C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.0sharecharsets' SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'coll%'; 'collation_connection', 'utf8_general_ci' 'collation_database', 'latin1_swedish_ci' 'collation_server', 'latin1_swedish_ci' I think I need to change 'character_set_connection' to 'latin1'.

Escape The '?' Character
a problem with mySQL : INSERT INTO mytable(myfield1,myfield2) VALUES ('?abcdef','testing') When I run the SQL query above using VB6 + ADO, what happens is I get an error saying that it was expecting a parameter. I know that in mySQL you can do parameterized queries by using the '?' character in place of the value. However, in my example above, it is quite obvious that what I'm trying to insert is not a parameterized item, but a string called '?abcdef' ... mySQL somehow seems to ignore this, and it still doesnt work even with the escape character in front of the '?' . However, if the '?' was anywhere else in the string (not the first character), then it works... for example : this works -> INSERT INTO mytable(myfield1,myfield2) VALUES ('abc?def','testing') So is this a mySQL bug? or is there any way to properly escape the '?' character ?

Character Codes
The data was originally in ISO-8859-2, but since I am using many different languages and encodings, so I thought it would be okay to change it to UTF-8. My database is already existing, so I changed the default character set (of the database and of the table I am using) to utf8. Still, when I import the data with LOAD DATA INFILE MySQL converts the strange slovak characters to question marks. Does anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Character Sets
I have a database with a few tables. The tables contain data in both languages - english and bulgarian. That's why I decided to use character set cp1251. All tables and their fields use this character set. When I try to add a row within phpMyAdmin, everything works fine. But ... when I try to add a row from the website, using this database, I get only "?" instead of the characters. The website itself, uses windows-1251 charset, that is defined in the meta tag. Moreover, after connecting to the database, I immediately call the query "set names cp1251;", so that all the communication between the DB and the website is done in this encoding. And now .. Made a little test, to print out the character encoding of the characters that are added through the website (the ?-s). mb_detect_encoding() says ASCII.
