[Mono-dev] mysql connector error

[Rafael Teixeira]

Seems like a problem with the supported character sets in Mono (some are
only available if your install additional packages), or with the list of
aliases for the encodings, (utf_8 and UTF-8 should be the same, for
example).

For some details on I18N for Mono see:
https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/master/mcs/class/I18N

Looking the source
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/corlib/System.Text/Encoding.cs
starting at
line 584, you can see the base aliases supported ('utf8' without the dash
is not supportted, for example, but 'latin1' should work).

Please open an issue asking for the aliases that you know work with .NET
(in which version?), and another asking for addition of the latin5 encoding
if it is not supported in the extension I18N libraries. Pull requests with
source changes to implement what is lacking are very welcome!!!

For now if you want Turkish 'latin5', add the MidEast I18N extension lib,
and ask for encoding 'iso-8859-9'.

Have fun, eğlenmek
