John monitoring MyODBC From: root <ro...@tynan.apinet.com> ======================================================================

Hi Michael,

I've installed 'mysql ... ver 3.22.32'. I am using 'StarOffice 5.2' and trying to set up a 'odbc' connection using 'myodbc'...I am currently using version 2.50.34 of 'myodbc' and version 2.50.3 of the libiodbc..All appears to be NORMAL..until you run 'odbctest' and I get an error: undefined symbol:default_charset_info,SQLSTATE=00000. According to the 'INSTALL' docs .. there is mention a section about 'charsets' which, according to the docs...should have been install when I installed 'mysql'..Well I've tried RPM and TAR with all the same results...there are no 'charsets' in '/usr/local/mysql/*. There are some charsets in /etc/charsets, but, they do not match what is suppose to be the 'default'. Any light that you can shin my way would be appreciated..

In MySQL 3.22, only one character set may be used at a time, and it must be chosen when MySQL is compiled. The default is latin1 with swedish sorting order. To use a different character set, you will need to get the source and recompile.

In MySQL 3.23, the character set can be chosen when you start mysqld, and you can add new character sets without recompiling MySQL.
