- This directory holds configuration files which allow MySQL to work with
- different character sets. It contains:
- *.conf
- Each conf file contains four tables which describe character types,
- lower- and upper-case equivalencies and sorting orders for the
- character values in the set.
- Index
- The Index file lists all of the available charset configurations.
- Each charset is paired with a number. The number is stored
- IN THE DATABASE TABLE FILES and must not be changed. Always
- add new character sets to the end of the list, so that the
- numbers of the other character sets will not be changed.
- Compiled in or configuration file?
- When should a character set be compiled in to MySQL's string library
- (libmystrings), and when should it be placed in a configuration
- file?
- If the character set requires the strcoll functions or is a
- multi-byte character set, it MUST be compiled in to the string
- library. If it does not require these functions, it should be
- placed in a configuration file.
- If the character set uses any one of the strcoll functions, it
- must define all of them. Likewise, if the set uses one of the
- multi-byte functions, it must define them all. See the manual for
- more information on how to add a complex character set to MySQL.
- Syntax of configuration files
- The syntax is very simple. Comments start with a '#' character and
- proceed to the end of the line. Words are separated by arbitrary
- amounts of whitespace.
- For the character set configuration files, every word must be a
- number in hexadecimal format. The ctype array takes up the first
- 257 words; the to_lower, to_upper and sort_order arrays take up 256
- words each after that.
