Hi,
i would like to generate strict alphanumeric character logins from users' first and lastname. Since many of them are foreigners, their names have special characters (é, è, ï, ...). I would like to remove the accents (e,e,i,...) in the logins.
Here is my query. Is there a character set that does not contain accents?
UPDATE contacts SET login=CONVERT(LOWER(CONCAT(firstname,'.',lastname)) USING utf8);
