Why does MySql have 'utf8' for collation on its information_schema but latin1_swedish on all other d
- by PoppySeeds
Using the latest version of MySql. I created a database, it defaulted to Latin1_Swedish, and just noticed that the 'mysql' database also has Latin1_Swedish. Only the information_schema has a collation of utf8_general_ci. Should I be changing my database to utf8? And if so, how?
