Garbled Characters or Synchronization Failure Due to Incompatible Character Sets

Context

If the character set of the source database is incompatible with that of the destination database, the following problems may occur:

  • Some data may include garbled characters.
  • Data synchronization may be inconsistent.
  • Data may fail to be written into the destination database.

Solution

In this case, change the character set of the destination database before synchronization. If an error has been reported during the synchronization, change the character set of the destination database and reset the synchronization task.
