MySQL Collation 1

[sebes]

Hello,

I created my database with MySQL connection collation : utf8_general_ci. However, in the tables I create, without specifying any collation, all char/varchar/... fields have Collation: latin1_general_ci .

Why isn't the main utf8_general_ci collation automatically passed on to the fields ?

Thanks.

No. Only if you create the database itself with that collation. The connection collation has no influence on this.
