MySQL Data Compare wrong charset please help :(

Hello,

I hate to cry 'urgent' especially I know it's Saturday now, but unfortunately it is really urgent.

The error is when I'm at MySQL console I can see utf symbols correctly but your app shows it in a wrong way.

Here is the console:

$ mysql -uroot
Server version: 5.1.69-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (Ubuntu)

mysql> \u src
Database changed

mysql> set names utf8;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from wp_101_posts where ID=17914 \G
.........
#800000">▲</span>Delta<span style="color: #800000">▲</span>
.........

What I see in the app is question marks instead of any utf symbol. I'd like to attach an screenshot but I don't see such option here.

The main issue it puts these question marks in sync script :(

How can I fix this?

Please help. Thank you.

    Hi,

    Have you tried setting the script encoding? You can change the charset of the script using Tools -> Application Options -> Encoding.

    Thanks,

    Yes, I did but no luck. As far as I understand this setting is for output script only, not for DB connection.

    Ok I've tried to ensure that the connection is set to unicode. Previously it was "auto".

    Hmmm, now it shows

    800000">^</span>Delta<span style="color: #800000">^</span

    the caret sign, shift+6

    Is it supposed to be so?

    I decided to test before post this reply and found that log text fields (text or longtext) in the sync script were truncated to 1024 bytes.

    Thanks God, I don't put it to live site and check manually first.

    Anyway please take your weekend, I already found a workaround so there is no need to hurry.

    Thank you for willing to help.
