Axel Wers Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I am not sure in this thing. What is difference between utf8_general_ci and utf8_english_ci collations? What is better or recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I would use whatever the database defaults to. Trust me - don't mess with db collations and charsets if you can absolutely avoid it lol. If you're configuring mysql for the first time and want to use one or the other, I use general for any charset groups when possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Wers Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yes. I don't have any problems at this time with my database. My tables have set utf8_slovak_ci collation but I don't know if utf8_general_ci would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Changing it would likely result in many problems. I never ever ever ever ever (did I mention, ever) willingly change the collation without VERY good reason once the site is running. It often corrupts the data in the tables.
