Django + MySQL - Unknown encoding: utf8mb4

Question

MySQL 5.5.35 Django 1.6.1

In order to support emoticons in the DB, I have configured in my django settings:

\'OPTIONS\': {\'charset\': \'utf8mb4\'}
         


        

Answer 1

Fast and easy way.

connection = mysql.connector.connect(user='username',
                                   password='mypass',
                                    host='localhost',
                                     database='mydb',
                                       use_pure=True,
                                      charset='utf8'
                                      )
