mysql question

Hi guys,
i've a problem with mysql.

It doesn't recognize some letter wit accents (czech language) and insert only the code.

I think it's a charset problem and i read that mysql is needed to be installed with the option --czech-language (or similar).

Is it possible using the art rpm (maybe editing the my.cfg) or i've to recompile all the mysql rpms?

Its built --with-extra-charsets=all right now, which should cover that by default. I'm not suprised that it would have problems though, UTF8 conversions are always a pain. You might want to look into using one of the binary data types to debug this, if it still doesn't work as a BLOB, then the problem might be in the app that is sending the data to the DB.
