In Windows 7, the collation is set to "English_United States.1252"
when I select the "English, United States" locale in the installer. In Linux, the collation is set to "en_US.UTF-8"
by default.
I haven't found any way to set the collation's codeset to UTF-8 in Windows so I'm just wondering if the databases will behave differently in these example cases? Or in general, what's the impact of the codeset part of a collation to begin with?
I have the encoding set to UTF-8 in both databases and the question is whether the difference in codesets of collations will cause difference in behavior.
