utf 8 - How do I convert the OpenShift MySQL 5.1 cartridge to UTF-8 -


the default mysql 5.1 cartridge apparently creates tables latin1 character set. have application (review board, python/django application) has issues unless db running utf-8. how change that? can't edit my.cnf because wiped @ next cartridge restart.

mysql> show variables 'character_set%'; +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | variable_name            | value                      | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | character_set_client     | latin1                     | | character_set_connection | latin1                     | | character_set_database   | latin1                     | | character_set_filesystem | binary                     | | character_set_results    | latin1                     | | character_set_server     | latin1                     | | character_set_system     | utf8                       | | character_sets_dir       | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ | +--------------------------+----------------------------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec) 

i cannot change setting in my.cnf, because best of knowledge, there exists no openshift environment variable set character encoding. how persistently change (ideally in openshift hooks persist future deployments) , update existing tables utf-8?

i found solution not perfect 1 :

in openshift installing phpmyadmin, find , change server settings, relevant character variables changed latin1 utf8. hope helps
