Hi Stefan,

Actually, connectionCollation is not being ignored. The issue is that it doesn't work as you expected.

Collations provided by the connection property connectionCollation end up being set in the server variable collation_connection. To better understand what this sever variable does please consult the page https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/charset-connection.html.

Summing up, the collation provided by connectionCollation affects how string literals (not column values) are compared. For example, you would get different values from the query "SELECT 'a'='A'" when setting the connection collation as "UTF8MB4_GENERAL_CI" and "UTF8MB4_BIN" through the connection property connectionCollation. Nevertheless, comparing a string literal to your table column is not affected, this is why it seems it is being ignored.

IHTH
