UTF-8: General? Bin? Unicode?
I'm running some tests on finding the right collation for the right table. Is it correct to assume that if a table were to contain user submitted data (profiles info, etc.) or authentication data (hashes, etc.) a collation of utf8_bin
would work well while all the rest can be in utf8_general_ci
which is faster?
Or should everything just be the same collation?
