Description
I am using MariaDB 5.5 but had the same issue with MySQL 5.5
- I can add/edit/view 4-byte utf-8 characters (iOS emoji's for example) from a terminal and sql gui client
- my.cnf is set to use utf8mb4 as default charset
- I set the databases default encoding to utf8mb4
Using Rails 3.2.13 database.yml
staging:
adapter: mysql2
host: dbstage01
database: sp_stage
username: sp_stage
password: 12345678
encoding: utf8mb4
collation: utf8mb4_unicode_ci
port: 3306
I have tried with and without collation:, encoding: hoping it would use the databases default encoding as well as using just using utf8.
Using native Rails 3 gem 'gem mysql2'
:
- rake db:create fails with
'Unsupported charset: '"utf8mb4"'
message
Using gem 'mysql2', :git => "https://github.com/brianmario/mysql2.git"
- The database and migrations complete, but it is not using utf8mb4 as specified in the config file.
- 4 byte emoji displays as
?
's
I was able to fix this on an earlier project using mysql5.5 and writing a bunch of scripts to go through each table and column, changing charsets and collations to utf8mb4, and also setting indexes on utf8mb4 to a max of 191 characters.
