Description:

I have a problem when using MyODBC (both 2.50.39 and 3.51) with a connection string and MySQL 4.1 (running on a Win2k).

The database is created with the cp1256 character set, system is running latin1.

case 1) use DSN-less connection string

conn.open("Driver={MySQL};Server=10.0.0.111;DATABASE=ar;UID=user;PWD=123;STMT=set names cp1256")

Connection opens fine but it seems like the "set names cp1256" statement hasn't been done. Because when I run a "show variables like

'char%'" it says latin1 the places where it should say cp1256... Also when I perform a select query with a where clause I receive the

following error message:

[mysqld-4.1.1a-alpha-nt-log]Illegal mix of collations (cp1256_general_ci,IMPLICIT) and (latin1_swedish_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation

'='

If I execute the "set names cp1256" on the connection after opening it, the program works fine... But I need this to be embedded in

the connection string.

case 2) use a DSN connection

conn.open "DSN=ar;UID=user;PWD=123" ' DNS contains sql command on connect = set names cp1256;

This works perfectly. But I need it to work with a DSN-less connection (case 1).

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

How to repeat:

conn.open "DSN=ar;UID=user;PWD=123" ' DNS contains sql command on connect = set names cp1256;
