Hello, I want to change the connection collation that rails uses but I'm unsure of exactly what the best way to do this is. Everything in MySQL - the server, database and all tables are set to utf8_unicode_ci collation, but the connection collation in rails still appears to be utf8_general_ci (the default?). We are using the mysql2 adapter.
I've seen a couple of possible methods: Set the collation to utf8_unicode_ci via an init-connect line in the database server's my.cnf Set the ActiveRecord ConnectionAdapter to use the desired collation. Is there a best approach? Alternately, how much does it matter if the connection collation doesn't match set in the database server?
