Description:
Dear Folks

Actually, we really needed complex script sorting (collation) supports in MySQL. We are
strongly hoping to get most of language and internationalization supports in MySQL DBMS.

Thanks in advance.

Recently, in response to requests from the Vietnamese community,
Bug#4745 Add Vietnamese collation for the ucs2 and utf8 Unicode character sets
we wrote an article about adding collations, with Vietnamese examples:

http://bugs.mysql.com/file.php?id=6814

We're sorry for a mistake in the article:
"The second method "ADDING A NEW COLLATION BY CHANGING THE MARKUP FILE"
works only starting from 5.0.46. The patch was delayed for some reasons.
5.0.46 will be available soon."

Is it possible to use the methods described in the article,
applying (of course) Myanmar rules?

Dear Peter,

I would like to know about customization of collation will succeed in 5.1, 5.2 and 6.0
instead of 5.0.46.

Today, I got news letter, there are too many enhancement in new releases. But MySQL 5.0
still in 5.0.45 in downloads section of mysql.com

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Ngwe Tun.

The methods described in the WL#4745 comment will work with
a recent MySQL 5.1 download. They should be okay with 6.0
as well, although I haven't tested that personally.

as per collation customization guide line. I've tried mysql 5.1. But It's not succeeded as
screen shots. Let me have direction to fix it.

Or Still mysql not supported well in collation customization. I attached Index.xml file
too.

Cheers.

I've tried My SQL Server 5.4,

It's still unknown collate yet.

How can I fix it. Please see my current works in attachment.

Thanks.
