Comments - multiple indexes with different Collation on same column

Re: multiple indexes with different Collation on same column [Answer]

Unfortunately, in MariaDB, the collation is currently an attribute of the column, not of the index. You could work around this limitation by defining an indexed virtual column that uses a different collation. But, you should be aware that there are various bugs in the InnoDB virtual column implementation of MySQL 5.7 (and presumably 8.0) and MariaDB 10.2.

Thank you. Do you know if collation on index will be available in next versions?

I don't see any current plans to implement this, but feel free to create a task on JIRA and follow any progress there. https://jira.mariadb.org
