In Laravel, Everytime, while running the website,
"set names utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci "
is executing.
How can I avoid this ? Instead of doing this in the code. We have configured in the database itself. How can I remove charset and collation in database configuration ?
> config/database.php
>
> database => [
> driver => mysql ,
> host => env( DB_HOST , localhost ),
> port => env( DB_PORT ),
> database => env( DATABASE ),
> username => env( DB_USERNAME , forge ),
> password => env( DB_PASSWORD , ),
> charset => utf8 , // Need to remove or make
> collation => utf8_unicode_ci , // Need to remove or make
> prefix => env( DB_PREFIX , ),
> strict => false, ],
