Re: utf8 and utf8mb4 performance difference

Is the difference between utf8 and utf8mb4 big enough to be measurable? I doubt it. Essentially the only difference is how many bytes a character is allowed to be. utf8 is a subset of utf8mb4.

Yes, different columns in a table can have different CHARACTER SETs and COLLATIONs. It is quite reasonable to have a mixture.

The default character set specified on the table is just that -- a default.
