Hi, I'm trying to convert my sqlite 3 to mysql (using a cron so i can use it for some analytics) however i get the error:
2022-08-11 17:26:59 ERROR Character set 'utf8' unsupported
Character set 'utf8' unsupported
Describe the solution you'd like
is it difficult to add support for this, and i'm happy to donate.
It should support it already. Are you using Python 2 by any chance?
Thanks for the quick response.
I'm using 3.10.4
xxxx:~/.local/bin$ python --version
Python 3.10.4
note, i am running the binary from the above directory, could that be related?
./sqlite3mysql -f ~/smesqlite/storage.sqlite -d gspstats -u root -p -S
Hmm. Why are you running it like a script?
Did you install it using pip into its own virtual environment or did you just git clone this repo?
Also, please provide more information using

Yes i installed it with pip3 install.
I got an error about PATH not set for the local bin dir, but ignored and just ran from this directory.
this was the issue
Thanks.
I'll close :)

@acoloss just out of curiosity, did you happen to use MariaDB while you encountered this bug?
Looks like this was finally fixed in v8.0.32
