Here is what we had to do to use koha in utf-8 hoping that it helps in some of your discussions:
Hi Tumer, I investigate UTF-8 move for the next 3.0 version. I experience a little problem :
4- We changed the character set of the database to utf-8 with the iso-xxxx data in it. No problem for Mysql as you are moving up the ladder. No need to reload the data (10 min)
I already am in mysql 4.1, with iso8859 database collation. If I change a table and column type to utf8, all datas already in the DB are not modified. any data entered is correctly in utf8 What step did you exactly follow to get a utf8 database ? I see a solution here : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/charset-conversion.html but it's really a pain. There is another possibility, with : * mysqldump * iconv on dump * mysql reload Could you describe a little bit more what you did ? -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
