Re: mySQL and accented chars revisited

Kay's right. You can define the encoding to be used in an SQL database and utilities should observe that encoding by default. I added that in the last release of my SQLiteAdmin program, although I also included preferences to not encode/decode and/or specify an encoding. That's necessary because t

Re: mySQL and accented chars revisited

It would depend if they had been properly encoding the data in the database or not. If yes, then using textDecode when SELECTing should get you the correct results. If no, you'd need to do the one-time conversion I described (assuming it works of course!). Pete Pete lcSQL Software

Re: mySQL and accented chars revisited

Hi John, Sounds like you're using LC7 since I see textDecode in there. I don;t know enough about the URL side of things but I think the issue on the database side is what you are doing when you INSERT or UPDATE the data. It needs to be textEncoded at that point. After that, you need to textDecod
