The default character set is compiled in and won't be changed for reasons of backward-compatibility with existing installations. At the current point of time in our release cycle I will also not change something in the default my.cnf that is shipped with mysql. Probably the default will change to utf8 with MySQL-5.1. BTW: When changing the defaults you will probably also want to put the above mentioned option into the "[mysqld]" block so that it becomes default for both, clients and the server. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
