Database collation was created by activha

Hello

While reviewing our installation, we notice that some CB tables are InnoDB - utf8_general_ci, some others are InnoDB - utf8mb4_general_ci, some others (mainly CBSubs) MyISAM - utf8_general_ci

So the question is :
is it safe to convert all tables (CB, CBSubs and plugins) to InnoDB - utf8mb4_general_ci ? which is the set used by joomla.

If yes, admin tools has a nice feature to change things

Yes.

Nope, we don't tamper with collation. It's entirely based off what you've your database default collation set to. If that should change you'll need to manually update your tables. At this time there are no plans for such a tool.
