To "convert" existing data is not always easy. This method (found in the comments of a blog entry I have lost the url for) works as long as you can keep the database "locked" when you do this. Otherwise you will convert any new data entered and make that data look garbled.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.eimermusic.com/the-pensive/fixing-existing-data-when-switching-character-set-in-mysql/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Altering character set and collation of tables in MySQL</title><link>http://www.eimermusic.com/the-pensive/altering-character-set-and-collation-of-tables-in-mysql/</link> <comments>http://www.eimermusic.com/the-pensive/altering-character-set-and-collation-of-tables-in-mysql/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:59:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>martin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[The Pensive]]></category> <category><![CDATA[character set]]></category> <category><![CDATA[collation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mysql]]></category><guid

You may have to alter the actual fields in the table to get MySQL to comply in some cases. I don&#8217;t know why or when MySQL does this.

One big drawback in many cases can be that the default collation ignores accents for characters. The result is that &#8220;halla&#8221; and &#8220;hallå&#8221; is interpreted as the same word. This is of-course bad for storing general data such as names users or products that may very well have accented&#8230;]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.eimermusic.com/the-pensive/preferred-character-set-and-collation-in-mysql/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
