I need to use NVARCHAR because I have to deal with cyrillic symbols, but phpMyadmin says that this data type is unrecognized. I use phpMyAdmin 4.6.4 and MySQL 5.7. How to solve this problem?
NVARCHAR
exists only for "compatibility" with other vendors. Use VARCHAR
and specify CHARACTER SET utf8mb4
, to get the "N".
5.7 is happy with NVARCHAR; it seems that phpMyAdmin is not.
