    phpMyAdmin and MySQL connection collation

    I must work with phpMyAdmin 2.6.0-pl3 installed on a client's Windows NT
    web server. I've not previously encountered options for charset and
    collation using phpMyAdmin, and am not sure what to set "MySQL
    connection collation" for English-US type usage.

    The default MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

    I didn't notice this until exporting a backup, which for different
    tables is giving me different "CHARSET=latin1 " values.

    Maybe I need to export existing work, manually remove the CHARSET
    settings from the schema and re-insert it back into phpMyAdmin?????

    CREATE TABLE `code_library` (
    `id` mediumint(6) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
    `name` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
    `purpose` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
    `clip` text NOT NULL,
    `date_entered` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
    `time_entered` time NOT NULL default '00:00:00',
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
    UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`),
    UNIQUE KEY `name_2` (`name`),
    KEY `name` (`name`)
    ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT= 2 ;


    TIA
Working...
