dreaded illegal-mix-of-collations error. The occasional query would result in Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='. MySQL’s default character set is latin1 with an adventurous Swedish collation, which presumably seemed like a good idea at the time. However Rails uses UTF-8 everywhere and from time to time the two collations collide. Fortunately this problem is not new and clever people have already solved it: see Getting out of MySQL Character Set Hell and Fixing a MySQL Character Encoding Mismatch. Those two articles advise more or less the same process. Here I’m just jotting down some notes where I found something confusing or ambiguous in case I ever have to do this again. Order of events After exporting the data and hacking the dump file, I wasn’t sure whether to configure MySQL for UTF-8 and then import the data, or the other way round. I chose to import the data and then configure MySQL to avoid double-encoding the data. It seems to have worked. It silently truncated all my accented text but I was able to fix that. Take stock First figure out where you stand. In MySQL do this: mysql> show variables like 'char%'; The result you want is this: +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | character_set_client | utf8 | | character_set_connection | utf8 | | character_set_database | utf8 | | character_set_filesystem | binary | | character_set_results | utf8 | | character_set_server | utf8 | | character_set_system | utf8 | | character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ At this stage several of these values will be latin1. Similarly for collation: mysql> show variables like 'collation%'; +----------------------+-----------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +----------------------+-----------------+ | collation_connection | utf8_general_ci | | collation_database | utf8_general_ci | | collation_server | utf8_general_ci | +----------------------+-----------------+ The utf8_general_ci collation will do but ideally we want utf8_unicode_ci. The former basically ignores all accents: it treats ‘ü’ the same as ‘u’. The latter pays attention to accents; it’s a tiny bit slower but more accurate. To se
