Unable to insert rows with special characters to MySQL table

[glenndemunck]

I'm unable to insert rows containing special charachters like "à","ö", etc. into a MySQL table.

Example code:

proc sql;

insert into s_dmp.airline (airline_nm) values ('testö');

quit;

ERROR:

CLI execute error: [MySQL][ODBC 5.3(w) Driver][mysqld-5.7.18-log]Incorrect string value: '\xF6' for column 'airline_nm' at row 1

Any ideas on how to solve above error without translating the string variable?

Make sure that all your environments are either UTF-enabled or use wlatin character sets.
