Let me attempt to analyze the impact of the proposed fix on changing the default character set.
* Every database created stores its own default character set, hence this change does not affect them. * Since utf8 is a superset of latin1, every newly created database should be able to store the same kind of information. * The reason that upstream decides latin1 as default is real mystery. Perhaps it is due to legacy reason from version on or before 4.0. Let's attempt to ask for inclusion in Feisty. ** Attachment added: "patch to mysql.cnf" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7132603/mysql.cnf.diff -- locale and charset problem in mysql https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34181 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
