For some reason I didn't start using mysql2 until recently on my Rails3/1.9.2 project and I just noticed that this change caused some of my data to display incorrectly.
I guess the mysql gem doesn't really store data in UTF-8 so I wrote a migration to fix the broken items. My question is, do I need to change anything else in the mysql configuration since it was created via the mysql gem instead of the mysql2 gem? These commands show the same information for DBs created via mysql and mysql2 so I suspect I am safe. :-) SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'collation%'; SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character%'; -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
