wickning1 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 That's the character set you want to have as the default on every MySQL table you create. Once it's set as the default for a table, you won't have to worry about it when you pull or store values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
