Mac OS X 10.6 / MySQL Workbench 5.2 setting utf8

Classic Servoy
1

Mac OS X 10.5
With Servoy 3.5.12 using MySQL administrator 1.2
I was able to set the my.cnf file to utf8
which means I was able to save Japanese text into the MySQL DB.

But Mac OS X 10.6
uses MySQL Workbench 5.2
and setting the utf8 causes
MySQL Workbench 5.2 to stop
responding (beachball).

the my.cnf
file is just blank.

Does anyone here have an idea?

MySQL administrator 1.2
won’t work in 10.6

Hi Otuku,

This sounds like a MySQL Workbench issue to me so you are asking the question on the wrong forum.
Also in my experience Workbench is far from stable.
As for editing the my.cnf I guess the old fashion text editor will work.

Yes, I checked and MySQL Workbench 5.2 has 588 current listed bugs
and any attempt to edit the my.cnf using OS X 10.6 causes a crash
is one of the 588

In Mac OS X 10.6
the application Name

MySQL administrator

needs to be renamed

MySQL_administrator

(underscore instead of space)

It then works fully.
