Default Charset/collation In Mysql
My language is Farsi and since I was using previous versions of MySQL, I had no problem. But upgrading to 4.1, I notice that character "Ý" is not displayed the way it should be. After reading chapter 10 of mysql manual, I sent this query after connecting to my database in PHP, and I have no problem:
$res = mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
if ( !$res )
{
print "<pre>" . mysql_error() . "</pre>";
}
The thing is that I really do not wana send it in my PHP code, since I have some scritps that I'm not allowed to modify, so, I tried starting mysqld with the default-character-set option, just like:
mysqld_safe --default-character-set=utf8 --default-collation=utf8_general_ci &
and it really works fine. I even checked the Server Variable and Settings in phpMyAdmin and everything is set to utf8. But you know what? My code still doesn't work if I remove the first code that I wrote in here, I mean if I don't send that query (SET NAMES 'utf8'), I was wondering why? I mean it's working, as the server variables show, but then they have no effect. What should I do.

CREATE TABLE With DEFAULT CHARSET In MySQL < 4.1
Ok, I've read the whole chapter 10 of the reference manual and now I know, that only MySQL Version up from 4.1 support the CREATE TABLE tbl (cols) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET foo COLLATE bar statement. But is it possible to create tables with special charactersets (at least UTF8) with a MySQL version prior to 4.1?

Messed Up Charset & Collation
have made a bit of a mess of our database. Without learning anywhere near enough about the implication of changing the website charset and database collation I made a few tweeks. Now we have strange characters as a result and I think database contents that are neither one collation or another as its now a bit of a mix. I'm looking to have everything as UTF-8 but am now realising that there may be quite a lot of data that need tidying up as a result. Our database if currently latin1_swedish_ci and our website is UTF-8,

Remove Feature Of Default Charset?

Default Database/table Charset
i'm trying to get UTF-8 working in my PHP app. It's all good now except for one thing. During the installation process, I use the AdoDB XML Schema class to automatically create the necessary tables from XML files. This is great, but has the drawback that I don't get to specify the Character Set of the new tables, as AdoDb doesn't support that yet. What I'm looking for is the best way to get the desired result: all tables using the UTF-8 charset. Form what I can understand of the manual, I can set the default charset of the database, then create the tables and they will inherit the charset. However, as my app may not be the only one using this particular database, it's important that I restore the default charset after I've finished the installation. Does this sound like the right way to go? Basically, I run: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_database' ...to get the previous default, then set the default to utf8, then install the tables and finally return the charset to whatever it was previously.

Set Default Collation
However I recently tried MySQL 4.1.x and noticed that there have been some changes. My questions are:- 1) The default collation setting is Latin1_swedish_ci. What do I need to change this to in order for my old tables to import correctly? Currently special chars like tm <- trademark import as ? <-Question Marks? 2) How do I set my own default? 3) Is there any way to export a new database back to an old version of MySQL eg 4.1.x -> 4.0.x?

Setting The Default Collation For A Specific Connection?
Is it possible to set the default collation for a MySQL connection? (I have MySQL 4.1.22) I know you can use SET NAMES 'utf8'; for the character set, and can set the collation and character set for the whole server with my.cnf: default-collation=UTF8_general_ci default-character-set=UTF8 But is there any way to set the collation for a connection without editing my.cnf? Such that all CREATE TABLE queries and such on that connection automatically use utf8_general_ci as the default collation, rather than latin1_swedish_ci? (without adding DEFAULT CHARSET to each create table query)

MySQL Collation And Greek
When you create a database with phpMyAdmin by default the collation of the database is latin1_swedish_ci! So you have to be very carefull from the begining to create the database with the right collation, (in my case, greek_general_ci)... Well, my problem is that I have alreday made this mistake so now I have a database with wrong collation and all my greek content is stored as some crazy characters that I can not read. In the real site you can see all the content ok and the source looks ok, but using wrong collations in your database is a very bad thing to do. 1. Is there any way to change the encoding of the database? 2. Is there any way to convert my data to a usefull form (greek)? Any suggestions?

Migration :: Mysql To Mysql Charset
I download an .sql backup of my forum from phpMyAdmin. The host that I use MySQL is using uts8_unicode_ci as charset. My forums are in turkish. and the other server which I will use my downloaded .sql file uses utf8_general_ci as its charset. Why I try to import with the command line option; I get an error. They both have MyISAM, Memory, Merge, Heap, MRG_MyIsam engines. I think this is a charset issue. The error looks like; #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=4' at line 30 saying sth about Auto increment and charset.

MySQL Default Value
When a customer places an order, the database sets the default at "3" which means "not complete" when it is complete and billed, It is assigned a "1" I want to have it be assigned a new number on all future orders, but no not want it to go back and reset every single past order. If I change the default value number in the database, will it only apply to new orders, or will it change every single record to the new default regardless of their current status?

Default Value Problem In Mysql
- Database table with a decimal field set to Null and with a default value of 0.00 - PHP page with a form containing a price field which, on submission adds a new record to the table. If the user leaves the price field empty on the form the intention was for the default value to be applied to the field. However, an error is returned to the effect that a valid decimal value was not input. The form could have a default value of 0.00 displayed to the user and while this overcomes the problem it would be preferable to allow the field to be left blank. Is it the case that the script is picking up the field as being an empty string and if so how do I get around this?

Need Help - Mysql 5 Default Values
I created a program for mysql 3.23... We launch on tuesday... Problem is we are installing it on laptops and are tech guy installed mysql 5 instead of the version we currently use. In the mysql 3 when you make a query if there is a null value in the query it automatically places the default value into the table. I.E. Query: INSERT INTO someTable SET someCol='' Column Default: 'a' In mysql 5 it throws an error saying the column value is out of range if your trying to insert a null value. I need it to automatically insert the default value. Is there a way to change the configuration of mysql to automatically insert the default value if a null value is encountered (and the column is a not null setting). This is really really important,

Default MySQL Return Value For Query
I'm writing a multilingual web site where not all content will necessarily be multilingual. I have a languageid and want to retrieve the content for that language. However, if that content doesn't exist, I would want to retrieve content for the default language. My ideal query would be something like: SELECT content FROM page_content WHERE pageid=$pid AND languageid=$userlang IF NO RESULTS WHERE pageid=$pid AND languageid=$defaultlangid I imagine my made- up 'IF NO RESULTS' directive does not exist. Is there any way to get that kind of functionality from one query? Since I will be having queries all over the site to retrieve different kinds of localized things (image tags, html code, textual content), it would be awesome if I could figure out a way to consolidate. Maybe there is a way to sort results from this query: SELECT content FROM page_content where pageid=$pid AND (languageid=$userlang OR languageid=$defaultlang) ORDER BY .... ? I'm also not sure if the nested boolean will work.
