> This is how it works actually :). Effectively for MySQL (and now also mariadb) the default will be `utf8mb3_general_ci` but if you set collation parameter, it will be used instead. Oh, so I was misunderstanding the comment in the config file: > You can override this parameter to any collation you want, but on mysql it will be set always to `utf8mb3_general_ci` so that the index sizes of our index keys will not exceed maximum size of allowed index. This reads to me like Airflow would always use `utf8mb3_general_ci` on MySQL no matter what value the config is set. Perhaps this should be reworded? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
