Hi,
After spending about a week researching the use of hex [string] values I
am still as lost as I was before.
What is the point of placing Unicode data into a column if I have to
convert it when going both in and out? All the documentation I read on
MySQL indicates it supports Unicode I cannot afford the high overhead of
having to parse each piece of text every time I need to display it on a
page.
Please I am lost!
To me it should be a simple task. Insert <65k of text in Unicode or even
simple ASCII format into a column of type 'text' by using a GUI client
like SQLyog or MySQLCC and then extract it when needed by my web page
without loosing everything I put in after a certain character or
character sequence.
So I have the following questions:
1] Does MySQL handle ASCII text above 128?
2] Does MySQL handle Unicode text?
3] how do I get it to work?
If so how (detailed instructions) do I store the information so it does
not truncate?
