cannot use collation with mysql_stmt_prepare

You are viewing an old version of this question. View the current version here.

If I want to select with a case insensitive collation

SELECT * FROM test WHERE value = ?  COLLATE utf8_general_ci</code>

and in a prepare function an error is returned:

COLLATION 'utf8_general_ci' is not valid for CHARACTER SET 'binary'

A normal query works without errors.

What am I doing wrong?


here's my test program:

// test: $ gcc mysql.c `mysql_config --libs` && ./a.out
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <mysql/mysql.h>

MYSQL *mysql;

#define ERROR() do { fprintf(stderr,"! %s.\n",mysql_error(mysql)); return 1; } while(0)
#define QUERY(sql) if( mysql_query(mysql,sql) ) ERROR()
#define CHARSET "utf8"
#define COLL " COLLATE " CHARSET "_general_ci"

int main()  {
	mysql = mysql_init(0);
	mysql_options( mysql, MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME, CHARSET);
	if( mysql_real_connect(mysql,"localhost","gasi",0,
			"gasi",0,0,0) ) {
		fprintf(stderr,"# connected %s\n",mysql_character_set_name(mysql));
		// QUERY("SET NAMES '" CHARSET "'");
		QUERY("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test");
		QUERY("CREATE TABLE test ( "
				"id INTEGER, "
				"value TEXT CHARSET " CHARSET
				")");
		QUERY("INSERT test VALUES(556,'áêíöǘ')");
		if( 0 ) {
			fprintf(stderr,"# query:\n");
			QUERY(    "SELECT * FROM test WHERE value='x'" COLL);
		}
		else {
			char *s = "SELECT * FROM test WHERE value= ? " COLL;
			fprintf(stderr,"# prepare:\n");
			MYSQL_STMT *stmt = mysql_stmt_init(mysql);
			if( mysql_stmt_prepare(stmt,s,strlen(s)) ) {
				ERROR();
			}
		}
		mysql_close(mysql);
		fprintf(stderr,"# done\n");
		return 0;
	}
	else {
		ERROR();
	}
}
