Adding "?charset=utf8" to the connection string worked! However, there is one really weird side effect that probably has nothing to do with utf8. The tool creates two pdf files and one zip file as output. For the two pdf files, the expansion of the dataset in the history bar shows 'Image in pdf format'. The zip file shows gobbledygook. How do I tell Galaxy to recognize zip format and not try to parse/head it? Thanks John! On Dec 5, 2013, at 5:03 PM, John Chilton wrote:
Hmmm... can you try adding "?charset=utf8" to your database connection string - that may fix the problem?
If not - is there a way to tell if the actual columns have changed. Some comments on stackoverflow make it sound like the commands you listed will only affect new columns.
Can you try the CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET.
ALTER TABLE tbl_name CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
I don't think the problem is sqlalchemy right - this works for postgres and sqlite I believe - it is either that MySQL cannot store UTF-8 data in that column or there is a problem in the mysql connector. It is not clear to me where the problem is based on your stack trace and explanation. I would be happy to work around a limitation in the mysql connector by adding a config option to Galaxy if I were certain that there was a bug in the mysql connector.

John,
I stopped galaxy, then ran ALTER DATABASE galaxydb DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = 'utf8', then ran ALTER TABLE `[table]` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = 'utf8' on all the tables in galaxydb. After starting up galaxy and rerunning the jobs (using the unaltered version of lib/galaxy/util/__init__.py), the job failed with the same error.
Can I configure the sqlalchemy connection to use utf8? Or must I reconfigure the entire server to use utf8?

Fantastic!
For this particular problem - I guess you don't strictly need to modify more than just job and maybe task tables. I suspect at some point there will be a non-latin-1 job parameter or history name or username, etc... that will result in a similar problem though - so if you could just make it all UTF-8 that would probably be ideal.

Right, nevermind, 'hg log' listed that changeset 10953:e786022dc67e.
Changing DEFAULT_ENCODING to 'latin-1' in lib/galaxy/util/__init__.py worked.
Do I need to alter ALL the MySQL tables to UTF-8, or just a selection of tables? Will future updates explicitly create new tables with CHARSET=utf-8, or do I need to reconfigure MySQL to have a new default?

Actually, can you verify that this commit https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/commits/e786022dc67ed918050bd81b... is in your distribution and if it is try changing:
DEFAULT_ENCODING = 'utf-8'
in lib/galaxy/util.py to
DEFAULT_ENCODING = 'latin-1'
If that works then - I can create a database_encoding_default option in universe_wsgi.ini and let you switch it to latin-1 instead of needing to patch Galaxy. Otherwise, setting the MySQL tables to be UTF-8 is probably the better approach - though again - backup and test before applying that change in production.
Hope this helps, -John

David, Christian,
Very sorry about this - this is probably related to fixing some other errors - http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/Unicode-in-tool-stderr-crashing-galaxy-tt4.... I will try to look into this.
Christian - what database are targeting? Is it MySQL as well?
David - do you have a test setup you can hack on? I wonder if this would go away if you converted your tables to UTF-8.

That is not my official recommendation though - I need to do some more research first.
