MySql/MariaDB Collation

[betoncu]

I am using charset "latin5" and collation "latin5_turkish_ci"
I have problems with the sort order. The words starts with W,Q,X are ordered after Z.

I have faced some other problems also when I use EditBaserecord in the browses.
The browse does not position the cursor correctly when I insert/edit.

If I use "SELECT * FROM xxx" instead of "SELECT ID,FIRST,SECOND FROM xxx" with EditSource() it works correctly.

Mr. Rao please help.

1) Please build the application with Turkish codepage. ( Please also let me know how do you link Turkish code page and are you using Harbour or xHarbour. I like to try)
2) While connecting to server add charset "latin5" clause also.
Eg: FWCONNECT oCn HOST ................... CHARSET "latin5"

Please let me have your feed back

Merhaba Birol,

Ben DBFCDX de aşağıdaki satırları eklemeden aynı problemler oluyordu.

Code: Select all  Expand view

    REQUEST HB_CODEPAGE_TRWIN
    HB_CDPSELECT( "TRWIN" )

[betoncu]

I am using FWH 17.06, BCC7 and Harbour 3.2.0dev (r1703231115)
The sort order at the beginning is correct, but after you press refresh button the sequence changes.
I am using the buildh.bat file in samples folder to compile and link.
I have deleted only the following line:

echo %fwh%\lib\hbpgsql.lib %fwh%\lib\libpq.lib + >> b32.bc

Hakan, bu örnek sende düzgün çalışıyor mu?

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "fivewin.ch"

Thanks for your sample.
I shall check it and get back to you.

========
Please download 17.06 again
You can retain
echo %fwh%\lib\hbpgsql.lib %fwh%\lib\libpq.lib + >> b32.bc

Hi Birol,

I have checked and you are right.

I have checked both server default and latin5 - default collation.

[nageswaragunupudi]

Can you please try with these two changes?

Code: Select all  Expand view

  oRs   := oCn:RowSet( "SELECT CUSTID,FIRST FROM test_trk" ) // ORDER BY FIRST" )
   oRs:Sort := "FIRST"
 

and while creating the table

Code: Select all  Expand view

    oCn:CreateTable( "test_trk", { ;
         { "CUSTID", 'N',  3, 0, "PRI" }, ;
         { "FIRST",  'C', 20, 0 }, ;
         { "SECOND", 'C', 20, 0 } }, .F., "latin5_turkish_ci" )
 

I added two more parameters '.F., "latin5_turkish_ci" )

Please clarify
Is Z lower than Q and W ?

Depending on your feedback, let me see what more I need to do

[betoncu]

Nages, again the same. Q and W comes after Z.
But this time the created table has charset latin5 and collation latin5_turkish_ci

[nageswaragunupudi]

again the same. Q and W comes after Z.

That is what I asked you.
I found this problem with "TRWIN" codepage.
For a moment keep aside MySql server and Server's collation.

Let us see the sort behavior of TRWIN, independent of any database.
Here is a test:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "fivewin.ch"

function main()

   local aData := ;
         { {1, 'A', 'B'}, {2, 'S', 'B'}, {3, 'Z', 'B'}, {4, 'W', 'B'}, {5, 'B', 'B'}, ;
           {6, 'Q', 'B'}, {7, 'N', 'B'}, {8, 'I', 'B'}, {9, 'Ü', 'B'} }

   HB_SetCodePage("TRWIN")

   XBROWSER aData AUTOSORT

return nil
 

Click on header of column-2 to the sort order in ascending and descending.
If we do not use TRWIN, Ü comes at the end and all other characters are sorted normally like English.

First we need to resolve the issues with proper setting up of Turkish codepage in Harbour.
I do not know Turkish. So I request you to find out how to configure the Turkish codepage in such a way that Harbour Sorting is correct.

Next we go to the Server. We need to solve the issues step by step

[betoncu]

Nages, I have got the same result.
As you suggest, Harbour is sorting them in that order.

The correct order:

Code: Select all  Expand view

A, B, C, Ç, D, E, F, G, Ğ, H, I, İ, J, K, L, M, N, O, Ö, P, Q, R, S, Ş, T, U, Ü, V, W, X, Y, Z
a, b, c, ç, d, e, f, g, ğ, h, ı, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, ö, p, q, r, s, ş, t, u, ü, v, w, x, y, z
 

There is no any problem on the server side. Because the Sql statement below returns the correct order.
SELECT CUSTID,FIRST FROM test_trk ORDER BY FIRST

[nageswaragunupudi]

We need to resolve the issue of Codepage with Harbour. May be we have not been configuring it correctly.
How are you handling the issue of indexing/sorting with DBF?

[betoncu]

I am not using DBF. Since 2009 I am using mysql with tmysql.
After each edit/insert I was refreshing the rowset entirely.
And hence there was not any problem.
I like your method because there is no need for refresh the query.

[nageswaragunupudi]

Let us see if other Turkish programmers can help.
Also please give me time till I return from Seminar

[betoncu]

Mr. Rao,
I have done some more tests and at the end I have realised that the rowset returns with the code:

Code: Select all  Expand view

oRs   := oCn:RowSet( "SELECT ID, NAME FROM mytable ORDER BY name")

is in correct order. But, after I sort it using the code:

Code: Select all  Expand view

oRs:Sort := "NAME"

the sort order changes and the characters Q,X,W comes after Z.
As you mentioned before this is because of harbour. What can we do to overcome this problem.

[nageswaragunupudi]

Keep aside mysql or dbf.
We need to address the Harbour collation issue with Turkish codepage.

Try this example (normal English)

Code: Select all  Expand view

function Main()

   ? "Z" > "W" // --> .T.

return nil
 

Next let us set codepage TRWIN

Code: Select all  Expand view

function Main()

   HB_SetCodePage( "TRWIN" )
   ? "Z" > "W" // --> .F. : This is not correct

return nil
 

That means we are not able to properly set Turkish codepage and language.
For example, for Spanish we set

Code: Select all  Expand view

HB_SetCodePage( "ESWIN" )
HB_LangSelect( "es" )
 

If we use

Code: Select all  Expand view

HB_SetCodePage( "TRWIN" )
HB_LangSelect( "tr" ) // Runtime error
 

We need to know how to correctly set Turkish codepage. We seek help from Turkish Harbour programmers.
