[Vtigercrm-developers] Best practice mysql configuration for international characterset?

[socialboostdk]

Hi everyone,

What is the best practice configuration for mySql for vTiger (6.4, while
waiting for 6.5 ;-)), when we need different kinds of characters?

Ie. both northeren europen øæåöä, german ßü, russian телефон, etc.

I can see that the current db is latin1_swedish_ci which was good with the
northern european characters, but fails with the russian ones upon CSV
import, where characters are converted into "?????" instead.

I've of course checked that the csv was exported in a way where it does
contain the proper characters.

Should it be "utf8_general_ci" or what?

Thanks!


:) Chris
