As I recall MySQL is not case sensitive did you use --with-charset=koi8_ru ( or what ever) when you did ./configure ? snip form INSTALL-SOURCE file of mysql-3.23.40 * By default, *MySQL* uses the ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) character set. To change the default set, use the `--with-charset' option: shell> ./configure --with-charset=CHARSET `CHARSET' may be one of `big5', `cp1251', `cp1257', `czech', `danish', `dec8', `dos', `euc_kr', `gb2312', `gbk', `german1', `hebrew', `hp8', `hungarian', `koi8_ru', `koi8_ukr', `latin1', `latin2', `sjis', `swe7', `tis620', `ujis', `usa7', or `win1251ukr'. *Note Character sets::. -------------------------- Canaan Surfing Ltd.
