Mysql Client Dont Write Russian Characters
I installed MySQL 5.0.24 and have so problem.I can't type russian characters in mysql client. Database has data in koi8 encoding (from dump, from php form...) and this data correctly shown.But when I switch encoding to russian in mysql client cursor stops moving independent from my keys pressing,when switch it return to English and typing continued.For example,I enter: select fld from tbl where fld="russ",if "russ" in koi8 I cann't type this characters.
It is possible type russian characters from OS command line: mysql -p -e "select fld from tbl where fld='russ'" dbname. In this case whole query text will be entered and correctly executed.
If anybody know how possibly decide this problem write me please.
My OS is ALTLINUX 3.0 : LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R

| character_set_client | koi8r
| character_set_connection | koi8r
| character_set_database | koi8r

Unicode For Russian
I just wanted to insert Russian data in my database but while I insert it it get inserted easily, since I believe the data is inserted in the default format i.e. UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) i believe this is the default format but when i select it from database i could not get what was desired what is the solution for this, I am using Php as server side language.I get? as a result of select and while i look it in phpadmin the result is the same, is this the browser problem...which is not supporting the font.

Saving Text In Russian
I have a table with a field that is to save text in Russian. The text is
then retrieved by a PHP page. I run a query passing text in windows-1251
encoding, but when I retrieve it from the db, it shows up all wrong.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Version 3.23 - Russian Character Set
Have issues inserting Russian charaters in a table. The array used for the insert appears to be fine. The supported character sets per Varibales are:

latin1 big5 czech euc_kr gb2312 gbk sjis tis620 ujis dec8 dos german1 hp8 koi8_ru latin2 swe7 usa7 cp1251 danish hebrew win1251 estonia hungarian koi8_ukr win1251ukr greek win1250 croat cp1257 latin5.

Storing Russian Text In Table
I am using MySQL 4.0.20a. A russian user enters text in a HTML-textfield and POSTs & inserts through a PHP-script (php v.5). In what encoding is it stored in mysql? To me, it doesn't look russian but like this:

Âûïîëíèòü çàäàíèå

Is this format OK to store in? If I want to use the text into another page (and select from mysql), do I have to store it in any encoding?

Russian Language (win-1251) At Export MySQL 4.1
I have a problem with mysql back-up of my site. At site is present the material in russian language (the coding WIN-1251). Presently, hosting company has done upgraid MySQL bases to version 4.1.

The Site works orderly, but when making back-up bases (Export), in the base are absent the symbols in russian language. At export of the base through PHPMYADMIN , the situation a bit better, some cyrilic symbols are seen, but not all. How it is correct to do the MySQL export to were seen cyrilic symbols?

Omitting Characters Between Characters?
This is what I wrote:

select f.faqdesk_id
, c.categories_id
, f.faqdesk_question
, c.categories_name
, f.faqdesk_answer_short
from faqdesk_description as f
join faqdesk_to_categories as f2c
on f.faqdesk_id = f2c.faqdesk_id
join faqdesk_categories_description as c
on f2c.categories_id = c.categories_id

It works just fine, but the column: f.faqdesk_answer_short has characters I want to omit.
For example, the results have html formatting.

<H1>Hello World</H1><br><b>How is your day?</b>

I want to perform the search without viewing the html. Is there a way to omit the brackets & anything between them?

How To Add ... After # Of Characters?
Can somebody tell me how to add ... after a certain number of characaters that are pulled from a column in a MySQL database?

I've tried this but for some reason it isn't working:

LEFT('entry_excerpt', 40) as excerpt

ë Characters
I have a type of car in my database : Murciëlago .

I have entered this directly in the db. But I can't seem to get it out right. Can anyone tell me how to handle these things ?

20-30 Characters
How to make in MySQL search results displaying 20-30 characters before and after the search word so that users can see what they found (like Google or Altavista search, you know). It could be something like SUBSTRING(-30, ‘%$search%’, 30), but it does not work of course. I spent the whole day trying to make it and no results! Can you please help me with that?

15 Characters
Say I have "medium grey jumpsuit" as a post title, but i only want to display the first 15 characters from it. how can i do so

Western Characters
When I populate a table with "MySQL command line" and insert French characters like "é à" and then query the database with "MySQL query browser" I've got corrupted characters. Same is true vice-versa.

My OS is Windows XP (French). The server MySQL 4.1.7 is configured with character set latin1 the same for the table and field.

Changed Characters
While using mysqldump to backup the databases on my server i noticed that all the the portuguese accented characters from my databases get screwed up and changed to wierd characters.
What's up?

Special Characters
I'm new working with mySQL and I'm having trouble dealing with special characters...

Every time I try to insert data on the database containing special characters (i.e. "não" ou "já") the dbms returns the error: "Data too long for column 'xxx' at row n.".

I use MySQL 5.0 and Windows XP SP2 Pro.

Here are the values of the variables like "character%" and "collation%" (The charset directory is ok, only the file utf8.xml is not in there, but it's compiled into the dbms so I think that´s not a problem... hope I'm not wrong): Code:

Japanese Characters And Jsp
I am building a site for a client in both japanese and english. I was wondering if anybody could give me some basic pointers or can direct me to a tutorial online. I am using tomcat 5.0 and MySQL 4.02.

The research that I can find has let me to believe that I need 4.1 to support full unicode or there are hacks that will do it in lower versions such as defining varchar column types as binary. I've done this and still have problems viewing or returning data correctly. I wish that i could upgrade to 4.1 to make my life simpler, but my hosting company will not do the upgrade for some time.

I am wondering if there are things that i need to do to my java query? Is there a way around this where i can use the same query and dataconnector class that i have now to return japanese and english?

Three And Less Characters Searching
I've got a database that has boolean search on it, but from what I read and see from my results, MySQL ignores words with three or less characters, is there a way to force this? or how I can deal with having two and three character words searched?

Swedish Characters
I thought that working with swedish characters would be easy, but
since I'm working with MySQL 4.1 that's not the case any more.
First thing I noticed (emditly) was an application that I've written
in Qt showd rubbish in the QDataTable where there should be swedish
characters. So I took a look in the database using the 'mysql' client
app, but using this, all is good? So I made a 'mysqldump -u xx -pxx
dbname < cazzo.sql' and took a look in the .sql file, but again the
swedish characters were rubbish.

I've really tried a lot of thing to solve this. E.g. changing the
default-character-set to all kinds of values, creating new databases,
etc etc. But I just can't get it. What am I missing?

Characters That Must Be Escaped
Is there a definitive list of characters that must be escaped in order to
insert them into a text field in mysql.

Escape Characters
I'm trying to use an SQL plug-in to synch. FileMaker (FM) with a MySQL
DB. All is going great EXCEPT my FM text fields. If I have any special
characters in my FM text field, they foul-up the INSERT/UPDATE query
and produce an error.

For example, in the following sentence in the FM field:

I'm happy!

The information needs to go into the MySQL column as:

I'm happy!

The "escapes" out the ' so that it doesn't foul up the SQL. I'm
aware of the substitute function in FM, but there are many characters
that have to be escaped and using that function seems cumbersome to do
so. In PHP there's a function called addslashes that will take care of
this for you. Does anyone know of a similar function or method within
FM? Likewise, I can also call MySQL functions, however I'm restricted
to those available in MySQL 3.23.43.

Special Characters
I am looking for a way to parse out certain characters when I write a select statement to an outfile.
I know how to escape the characters w/ the escaped by clause, but I need to parse off some double quotes and some backslashes.

select id, name from artists where id in(14346, 25919, 76150) INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/test_5.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ESCAPED BY '' LINES TERMINATED BY '

Foreign Characters
I exported a table from access that had some foreign characters like russian for example. In the mysql db on an apache server (remote isp) the characters show up as question marks. Is there anything I can do to get the charcaters to display correctly in the database?

Gibberish Characters
When I uploaded my db to 4.1, I noticed that phpMyAdmin displayed the collation as latin1_swedish_ci. I had never seen mention of collation in the previous version.
This presents a problem as characters with accents display as gibberish or chinese characters.What character set and/or collation should I use?

Select Characters
I have a site I'm working on at APOD I currently have a little news script that selects 3 random articles out of the database. What I would like to do is limit how much text it selects from the title, because some of the titles are quite long and then the link wraps, which I would rather not do.
Is there a way for me to do this? Say if I only want to select 100 characters from the title column?

Retreive First Characters
I have a field in my database called "description" (type:longtext) and I would like to retreive the first let's say 13 characters. What wold the select query be?

Multilanguage Characters
I was trying to insert utf8 data which cames from a form into a table..all the charset and collation of the target table is set to utf8. i found this solution:

PHP Code:
<?
   mysql_query("insert  table_name set field = _utf8'value'");
   //'value' came from post variable
?>
this code works.however, my concern is this the proper way to insert data to db as compared to the normal insert? (insert into table (fields) values ('values') )?

Special Characters
ok the text for my site is in database only i have problems with quotation marks that screw up url's and stuff.what you think is a efficient solution for displaying & #8221; instead of "
but without changing it for real in all the data

PHP / MySQL Characters
(This is a multi-dicipline problem... I hope nobody is upset because I posted this in PHP, MySQL and XML areas)

Characters Escaped
Is there a definitive list of characters that must be escaped in order to
insert them into a text field in mysql?

Special Characters
Smetime ago I posted a message about MySQL not dealing with characters other than the very basic set. It cannot deal with french characters such as é and à. It just ignores them and whatever is after.It seems to be a 4.2 issue, as I think they changed the way MySQL deals with character sets.I cannot resolve the problem. I cannot store characters in MySQL other that the basic set of english characters. Anyone had to cope with this issue before??

Foregin Characters
I was wondering if it was possible to insert foreign characters in mysql when not using the latest version that supports more characters.
I need to store information in russian, chinese, and japanese and my web hosting provider probably wont upgrade mysql for a while

Reading UTF-8 Characters
According to phpmyadmin, my server is set to MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) and the collation is utf8_general_ci. My database has the same collation, and in one table I have some Japanese characters. They enter into the table ok and can see them.
However when I connect to the database via a php page and read the values they just appear as '?????'
I have tested just using a php echo to print some japanese characters on the same page and that works fine. Thats why I think its something to do with reading the characters from the database.
Is there something obvious I am missing? I have tried googling and searching on these forums but nothing seems to work. It's quite discouraging

Non-English Characters
My company's enterprise directory is supposed to store all data fields
in English.Before the data standards were implmented, many of the
HR systems that fed data into the ED were sending some fields with a
combination of English and non-English characters. I want to identify
records with erroneous characters so we can ask the HR systems to
re-send the correct English-only values.
So...
I've exported a list of all users in the ED into a MySQL table called
'users'.
I would like to write a query that will return all records where the
'givenname' field contains one or more characters outside of [a-z] and
[A-Z]. I know I have to use REGEXP, but I can't figure out how to
find any record where one or more non-English characters exists in the
'givenname' field.

Select First 30 Characters
I've got a column named comments. How do I select the first 30 characters from the comments field?
I looked in the mysql manual but didn't find my solution.
Also, is there a way that the select result doesn't cut one of my words in half if it happens to be at the 30th position? I'm using php so maybe I'll have to select the entire field and then pull the first 30 characters??

Special Characters
how can i fit the special characters in my data base?
like 10h am à 17h pm
French language it is suppose to be à

Non-latin Characters
I am trying to store non-latin characters, basically utf8 characters in the database such as arabic, thai, etc. I have done basically everything I could and when I select the non-latin characters from the database, I get a bunch of question marks such as: ??????
I set the database default character set to utf8 when creating the database. My table collation is utf8_general_ci. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. When I pass the non-latin characters as a form value or url value, it is displayed correctly, but when I select them from the database it turns into a bunch of question marks in my app.
When I view the data from phpmyadmin, it shows some of the characters as squared boxes. Does anybody know what I am possibly doing wrong? How can I store arabic, thai, and other language text in the mysql database and select it?

Max Numbers Of Characters
Is there any way to have more to store more than 255 characters in a field?

Escape Characters
I'm working on a project in which we use MySQL as a database and i've come
across something i find strange but which me be completely correct. When i
type SELECT "c"; the mysql returns c instead of c, why does mysql
manipulate the data I put into it??? Normaly you would expect mysql to just
take the data and store it, because with the current project we run we build
the queries with an addslashes and retrieved it with stripslashes, something
that went ok untill somebody out a backslash into the database and nothing
came out.

Special Characters
i have developed a Content Management System using ASP.NET and MySQL database.

While submitting the Content, the MySQL tables aren't accepting single quote('), Double Quotes("), html tags (<br><font>) long dash(-) etc. that are there in the news stories.

Please visit http://67.18.142.206/newlayout/dec22002/1619320021213.aspx

to see the problem.

Can anybody tell me how to store them in the MySQL tables. i am aware about PHP Addslashes & stripslashes but they don't work with ASP.NET i think

Escape Characters
I am trying to insert record from one table to another.In the first table there is a fields having singlequotes in address field.what i want is to insert values from table1 to table2
I cant manipulate it manually as its directly being transferred from one table to another,for ease i have reduced it to a simple query and i am using it in my PHP application.
how can i insert field with singlequotes present, from one table to another

below is what i want to do u see the singlequote in mail_address.

INSERT INTO members(first_name,last_name,email,mail_address,
mail_address_extra,mail_zip)
VALUES('Abhishek','Ranjan','abc@abc.com','X-3,1'st Floor,VANDRA Homes','CHK','560037')

Portuguese Characters
I'm having a bit of trouble with a database with Portuguese accents. On the main site, the accents show up fine - so all the content is being read from the database properly. The problem is, when you access the database using phpMyAdmin, where there are normally characters with accents there is bits of garbled text. I'm assuming that this is an issue with the character sets and/or collations? What would be the best way to fix this?

French Characters
I'm wondering, in the I18N'ized version of our application, if someone is
running it, say, on a French system, where certain characters have accent
marks, and such characters are saved into a MySQL database from Java Strings
that go into Varchar fields, do I need to process those Strings in any
fashion before/after they are moved to the database?

Chinese Characters
I use 'LOAD DATA INFILE'.
bUT can not load Chinese characters from a txt file to a table

Valid Characters
I have searched the documentation and am unable to find this information out.
What are the valid characters for a username and password for MYSql? Is it any character, including extended, in the current character set?
The version we are using is the 4.1.21 .

Delimiter Characters
I am about to write a search term hightlighting function and I need to know what the MySQL Fulltext search considers as delimiter characters. The manual says:

"The FULLTEXT parser determines where words start and end by looking for certain delimiter characters; for example, ‘ ’ (space), ‘,’ (comma), and ‘.’ (period)."

I had a look into the sources (especially ./myisam/ft*), but I couldn't find a definition of what is considered a word or what is considered a delimiter.

Characters Lenght
I need to select all fields which has only 7-digits.

Spanish Characters
Been trying to import data from one mysql db to another but somehow I can't get spanish characters to display correctly.
First time they appeared with odd symbols replacing correct characters and now that I've edited the entire database, the text appears cropped on my osCommerce store

French Characters
I'm having a problem with french characters when performing a database dump from the console window on a Windows XP machine.
For example a field containing :Midi-Pyrénées will appear as Midi-Pyr‚n‚es when exported.

mysqldump -u root -p mydb --default-character-set=utf8 > mydb-backup.sql

I've tried using the character set latin1 but still no go.

Switching Characters
I've got a text string like a date eg 01-Jan-2001, is there a neat way
in an SQL statement to replace Jan with 01, Feb with 02 etc?
