Hi Kieran,
If you are using TEXT and specified the charset to utf8, then you
don't need to specify the valueType of E. Value type E is for
databases that don't support UTF8 natively. If you change the
valueType to something like S of c (not sure if this one is correct,
check the documentation), then WO won't try to write/read the data as
binary and convert it to a UTF8 String but instead it will write/read
the data as a UTF8 String directly. This should solve your issue.
Keep in mind that you need to make sure that your JDBC URL is set to
use that charset and unicode. See WebObjects wiki for more details on
using MySQL with WO.
Regards
Peter

Hi guys, thanks for replies. The field is a type TEXT, so it does
support encoding.... by chance I noticed the SQL was casting my
search terms to _binary and that seems wrong.

Hello Kieran,
Someone will probably come up with an alternative, but I've never
been to be able to make blob work the way I wanted with UTF-8. I
had to convert my blob to mediumtext.
As far as I know (but I'm not a db expert;)) blob can't have an
encoding like a mediumtext for example.

I have a text blob attribute defined as
External Type : TEXT
Data Type : UTF Character Stream - String E
EOF is treating it as binary in the SQL generation, so I get this:
... UPPER(T3.textobject) LIKE UPPER(_binary'%argentina%') ...
instead of this which is what I should expect??
... UPPER(T3.textobject) LIKE UPPER(_utf8'%argentina%') ...
I am using MySQL. My connection string is:
jdbc:mysql://localhost/omega?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
and the table is defined as:
CREATE TABLE `textblob` (
`oid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`textobject` text,
PRIMARY KEY (`oid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
Am I correct in thinking I should not be getting _binary before
the search term?
