    [CLOSED] Which collation should I use?

    Platform Windows 2000 professional

    Using phpMyadmin



    Just struggling a little over two issues. On front end page of phpMyadmin I have various information for global settings. I'm not sure what 'MySQL connection collation:' should be set on, currently it is 'utf8 general ci' . Also when I'm building a table I'm not sure what to enter in the 'collation' box, currently it's defaulting to 'latin1_swedish _ci'. I am based in the U.K, using English language and hoping to import my data from Excel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    'latin1_swedish _ci' is fine for English usage.
