Title

I am using MySql DB and want to be able to read & write unicode data values. For example, French/Greek/Hebrew values. My client program is C# (.NET framework 3.5). How do i configure my DB to allow unicode? and how do I use C# to read/write values as unicode from MySql? Upddate: 7 Sep. 09 OK, So my Schema, Table & columns are set to 'utf8' + collation 'utf8_general_ci'. I run the 'set names utf8' when the connection is opened. so far so good... but, still values are saved as '??????? ' any ideas? The Solution! OK, so for C# client to read & write unicode values, you must include in the connection string : charset=utf8 for example: server=my_sql_server;user id=my_user;password=my_password;database=some_db123;charset=utf8; of course you should also define the relevant table as utf8 + collation utf8_bin.
