Anyhow, it suggests the order of characters (dictionary-wise) in the latin1 alphabet. It is possible that two characters in latin1 will have different order in two different collations. I believe the MySQL manual provides such example with German. Hi,

Well collation is how the MySQL client and server deals with sorting and comparing text in the database. A more formal explanation of collations and character sets can be found here (http://code.openark.org/blog/mysql/mysqls-character-sets-and-collations-demystified).

MySQL's PASSWORD() function also returns hexadecimal text, but nevertheless the passwords are stored as CHAR(41), not BINARY(20). It's common use to store MD5 as text. I'm not sure myself if it should be so. See my earlier post: http://code.openark.org/blog/?p=85 Shlomi Chris,
