The short answer is that this is fine: This is the default and it allows storing UTF-8 text, and it's even supposed to offer better performance. If I knew MySQL properly, I'd give you the long answer, too :) People who do know MySQL are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
