  • 0

I’m using the C# .NET Mysql Connector, and when running this query:

INSERT INTO convos (`userid`,`time`,`from`,`content`,`read`,`deleted`, `ip`, `source`, `charname`, `to`) VALUES ('3', '1347396787', 'Chára', '........', '0', '0', '0.0.0.0:0000', 'C', 'óóóíííí', 'óóóíííí');

I get the following error:

Incorrect string value: ‘\xE1ra’ for column ‘from’ at row 1

I understand my encoding, everything was configured for utf8, utf8_general_ci. Database, table and columns are configured for utf8. The data is sent from the client in utf8.

If i use a 3rd party tool like, Workbench to insert the query or use the mysql command line it works fine. I don’t know if there is a bug with the connector or i need to be doing something else with the values before insert?

Any idea?

Thanks

Is there any in mysql to covert to the correct type?

    I figured this out, its taken a while but it seems i was setting the charset too often. The database, tables, columns are all in UTF8. When i made a connection i had “CHARSET=UTF8” in the connection string. I was also running “SET NAMES ‘utf8’ COLLATE ‘utf8_general_ci'” everytime i made a connection. I dropped the CHARSET=UTF8 and “SET NAMES ‘utf8’ COLLATE ‘utf8_general_ci'” and its all working now.
