--- Comment #147 from Andrew Dunbar <[email protected]> 2009-11-20 01:50:55 UTC --- MySQL does support CLDR/UCA collation and I believe it to be fast. The reason we don't use it is that MySQL does not support the full range of Unicode whereas MediaWiki does. MySQL is limited to the BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane). I believe for this reason MediaWiki does not even use any of MySQL's support for UTF-8 but instead stores all text as binary and handles UTF-8 issues itself. The feature request for non-BMP support in MySQL seems to be this one marked low priority with only 2 people watching it: http://forge.mysql.com/worklog/task.php?id=1213 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
