I have a file called person.sql with 1 line:
INSERT INTO Person (sFullname) VALUES ('Thomas Ågren');
If I run the following command from the shell:
mysql --default-character-set=utf8 -uusername -ppassword mydatabase < person.sql
I get truncated results:
mysql> select sfullname from person;
+-----------+
| sfullname |
+-----------+
| Thomas |
+-----------+
If I run the same exact insert command directly from the MySQL command line:
mysql> INSERT INTO Person (sFullname) VALUES ('Thomas Ågren');
I get the correct results:
mysql> select sfullname from person;
+--------------+
| sfullname |
+--------------+
| Thomas Ågren |
+--------------+
Any ideas? The default charset on the database and Person table are correctly set to utf8. Here's the schema definition:
mysql> show create table person \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Table: person
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `person` (
`sFullname` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
