I need some suggestions, I have come to the conclusion that all utf8 collations don't do french properly, not like latin1 anyway. All accents are seen as the same, while binary distinct they cannot be unique indexed and sorting will recognize them as the same as well as queries using any variant character.
So I'm in a bit of a bind, if I were to use RT with a case sensitive collation like utf8_bin would the application behave as expected? I know search would be much more strict and possibly confusing to the end user. My other option would be to continue to use latin1, is there any way to accomplish this using the latest code base? It's probably not configurable and I don't want to have to manage diffs for the possible changes, unless it is fairly minimal to do.. The issue in question -> http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=34130 They said it's on 'todo', MSSQL handles this with ci_ai, ci_as, cs_ai and cs_as collations where the accents are either sensitive or not. Hopefully they do come around to it..
