Oops, this one got sent prematurely…

what I was going to ask is how to set the mysql character sets from
Rails. I did set my database’s character set to utf-8 when creating it -
do I even need to set each table’s character set then? If yes, how is
it done in a migration, when creating the table?

Thanks!

In config/database.yml set the encoding to utf8 for each enviroment.
Like this:

development:
adapter: mysql
database: app_development
username: root
password:
host: localhost
encoding: utf8

I think is is only for Rails 1.2
