doctrine:database:create not set charset about doctrinebundle

[juliendidier]

Same for schema:create
Database and tables are not configured with dbal charset.

I think it's a bug. Because data are inserted with the config charset. And this is not normal to have data in UTF-8 in Latin schema.

I really want a feedback about that from the Doctrine community, before investigate.

Which version of Doctrine are you using ? IIRC, DBAL now sets the charset when creating tables instead of relying on the default value of the server (not sure if it is in 2.2.1 or only in master)

[juliendidier]

I use the last version of dev/master

My database is created with default mysql charset

I have the same issue, database and tables created in Latin.
I'm using the deps of Symfony 2.0.15

[arnaugm]

I'm playing with Symfony 2.1.0-beta1 and I'm not sure witch version of doctrine uses, the composer.json file says "doctrine/orm": "2.2.*".
The problem is still there.

doctrine/common 2.3.x-dev bb0aebb
doctrine/dbal 2.3.x-dev 292d5ed
doctrine/doctrine-bundle dev-master 4fa47ca

The problem is still there.

Seems to be an issue still: https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/blob/master/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Platforms/MySqlPlatform.php#L413 (no charset specified).

i use my solution for deb-based distrs
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=321505#57
this bug have 8 years :)

Hehe - great tip!

not sure, but it is any way related to this issue also? #210

[kimhemsoe]

@nmeirik the part you link is for creating a table and charset is should be set there.
https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/blob/master/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Platforms/MySqlPlatform.php#L472

For creating database you want to take a look at https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/blob/master/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Platforms/MySqlPlatform.php#L373

@jrobeson No, they are not related. #210 is "just" normal distro / php / PDO fun.

@kimhemsoe I think this is completely a DBAL issue and should be closed here, no? Setting the character set for tables is already supported for some time now in MySQL, setting it for databases to be created it is not supported. Not sure if we even can / should support it as it is a rather MySQL specific issue and the platform API won't let us do it anyways without changing method signature and breaking BC here.

[kimhemsoe]

@deeky666 Maybe it can be done with a optional options array, do not know if that is something we should do though.
Closing, not a bundle issue until support is in dbal, Workarounds exists by changing server config and charset is set correctly on tables, which is only reason i can remember why you want charset to set on database (I may be wrong).
