Re: Collations, trailing spaces and unique indexes

The current project where this new collations are needed will probably take about three months before being finished. It would be very nice if we could have the new collations until then. In the meantime, we'll continue development with MySQL and switch to MariaDB as soon as the new collations are available.

Personally, since we are using utf8 (and no other encoding) in every part of every project, I would prefer to have *all utf8* _nopad_ collations before having any other _nopad_ collation. But that's just my personal opinion. We will be grateful for any progress regardless of the order of things being implemented.

I just noticed that my MUA underlined tow lines of my text completely, and I would like to apologize for that. I really did not not want to shout ...

The underlining obviously happens because I used some underscores in my text ...
