Dear list,
i currently try to understand some MySQL internas. However, I am
wondering about the text encoding. I created a table while using latin1
and another while using utf8 on a windoof-machine. Then I inserted the
value "abäöüß" that includes special German characters. If I now look
into the MYD-file with a hex-editor, both tables include the same Bytes.
Does MySQL internally use a default encoding? If so, which one is used
internally. While looking at a standard ASCII-table one can recognize,
that "a" and "b" is standard latin1 (61 and 62) but "äöüß" ist
something
else.
Thanx for any reply (perhapt only a link to a place where I can read
about it ;-) )
Hagen
