Note that connection.character_set_name() only retrieves the character set name that is in use. To actually set the character set name, you have to do a bit of SQL; for details see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/charset-connection.html Also note that this is only applicable to MySQL-4.1 and newer. In 4.0, the character set is a server configuration option and cannot be changed by the client. -- Computer interfaces should never be made of meat. http://www.terrybisson.com/meat.html _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
