Rails - Oct 2010 - what is the default valule for "encoding" in ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection

Hi guys,

I am using mysql. Recently I changed the character set from Latin1 to
UTF-8.
I met an issue when I inserted a new record. It showed up some illegal
characters. Per my test, I thought it converted the value from UTF-8 to
Latin1 and then saved in table.


If I add “:encoding => "utf8"” to establiash_connection method, the
problem will be solved. Is there any default value for :encoding in
establish_connection?


  ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
    :adapter  => "mysql",
    :host     => "localhost",
    :username => "edwin",
    :password => "123456",
    :database => "products"
  )


Thanks in advance

question closed. I didn''t figure out a way to get the default value for
encoding. But when I set the :encoding to "latin1", I will get the
same
result.
