| Hi,
i hope use utf-8 to store more words and provent scramble,
but for some reason,
my homepage can not use utf-8 and need to use my country character,
now,
i hope my mysql database can store all the datawell,
if some days later,i want to change my homepae's character set to utf-8,
i hope the old data are still readable,
by the way,
how can i do ?
i check phpmyadmin shows "MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)" of my account,
about "MySQL connection collation",i need to choose utf-8 ? or my country character ?
thanx

| To change the character-set, edit the /etc/my.cnf file and place the following line
and restart the mysql service
You can verify the change by executing the command:
BTW, it won't corrupt your data.

| Hi,
my phpmyadmin shows "MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)",
is it enough ?
or it is different from "default-character-set = utf8 " ?
thanx

| Hi,
if my homepage's character is NOT utf-8,
can i set the "MySQL connection collation" to utf8_general_ci directly ?
thanx
