Jan Borsodi	Friday 13 August 2004 1:20:19 am I'm not entirely sure what they mean about utf8-general, I have never heard about this before. I found this page on mysql.com which explains the different collations (sorting) based on language. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Charset-Unicode-sets.html It could be related to that, do you know of a page on mysql.com that explains utf8-general? Another interesting property of UTF-8 is that when you are only using characters from ASCII (7bit, 0-127) it will only store one byte and is fully compatible with older ASCII based programs. -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq
