Have you tried searching? This has been discussed before. If I remember correctly, you have to configure the text encoding in your database.
Ahh yeah, I found this: https://www.traccar.org/forums/topic/fixing-encoding-for-mysql/
So I do the following:
-- set your table name here
SET @MY_SCHEMA = "traccar";
-- tables
SELECT DISTINCT
CONCAT("ALTER TABLE ", TABLE_NAME," CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;") as queries
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA=@MY_SCHEMA
AND TABLE_TYPE="BASE TABLE"
UNION
-- table columns
SELECT DISTINCT
CONCAT("ALTER TABLE ", C.TABLE_NAME, " CHANGE ", C.COLUMN_NAME, " ", C.COLUMN_NAME, " ", C.COLUMN_TYPE, " CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;") as queries
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS as C
LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES as T
ON C.TABLE_NAME = T.TABLE_NAME
WHERE C.COLLATION_NAME is not null
AND C.TABLE_SCHEMA=@MY_SCHEMA
AND T.TABLE_TYPE="BASE TABLE"
UNION
-- views
SELECT DISTINCT
CONCAT("CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ", V.TABLE_NAME, " AS ", V.VIEW_DEFINITION, ";") as queries
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS as V
LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES as T
ON V.TABLE_NAME = T.TABLE_NAME
WHERE V.TABLE_SCHEMA=@MY_SCHEMA
AND T.TABLE_TYPE="VIEW";
This is generate all necessarry sql command for convert. Copy the output to clipboard or save to a file.
4. Close the connection, reopen without -B: mysql -u root -p traccar (now root is not required)
5. Paste it and run the output of the previous function.
6. Exit from mysql cli and restart traccar server.
Works fine. :)
I got error if there is ű or ő character in the field: https://www.imgpaste.net/image/KHnsgU
