As Oren wrote, you have to compile the hebrew charset (either dynamically or statically into mysql).

Another way of making hebrew sorting/grouping work is by using VARCHAR BINARY instead of VARCHAR. I never tested it, though.

Hi,

As far as I remember you should be able to insert hebrew characters by
default (explain what exactly "doesn't work"). If you compile it by
yourself, you probably want to use some --with-charset=hebrew or something
similar (run ./configure --help..), which adds some hebrew support, such
as sorting by the hebrew aleph-bet. If you downloaded a precompiled version,
I'm not sure if hebrew is already enabled.

All:
	A quick question (hopefully with a quick answer). I have MySQL setup on a
machine and I'm trying to configure it so I can store Hebrew text (names,
addresses, etc.). I tried using set-character-set=hebrew in the my.cnf file
but that didn't seem to work. Could anyone point me in the right direction
as far as setting up MySQL to work with Hebrew text?

Thanks for any help,
Ben
