Re: Is STR_TO_DATE function doesn't work with UCS2 charset?

There is rarely a valid reason for using any character set (on a database/table/column) other than ascii, latin1, utf8, or utf8mb4. The character set in the client does not need to be the same; conversions are done as you INSERT / SELECT.

What was the reason for picking usc2?
