Hello all

I am using shopping cart software called Cubecart. Having created the shop I have tried to export my sql file to the net database. When doing so I receive an error... Charset and Collate syntax not recognised.

The problem I think is that xampp is MySQL 4.1, an my host (oneandone.co.uk) uses MySQL 4.0. I have discovered that one of the refinement to 4.1 was that they changed the charset and collate syntax

Does anyone know how I can make it compatible?

All thoughts welcome

Many thanks, Massimo

Sorted it. I found the drop down menu that changes it to 4.0

Just a thought:

Before installing CubeCart, you may require to create a DB in your MySQL first. In that moment, you can state your collation of this database to something like 'latin_general_ci' or sth...(coz I am using Chinese, I always setup my DB collation using this, and it seems to work...)

Hope it helps...
