I have a website to develop for a client and his MySQL database looks like this:
Database Properties: Character set: latin1 - cp1252 West European; Collation: latin1_general_ci
The tables are all like this: Character set: utf8 - UTF-8 Unicode; Collation: utf8_general_ci
The new bank will be:
Database Properties: Character set: Character set: utf8 - UTF-8 Unicode; Collation: utf8_general_ci
The tables are all like this: Character set: utf8 - UTF-8 Unicode; Collation: utf8_general_ci
Does this difference between the properties of the database force me to do some conversion of the data so as not to lose accent and special characters?
