Character set discovery from name requires opening a database to match 100% what happens after database is open. There is aliases inside database (both iso8859_1 and iso88591 are valid). So chicken and egg problem. These creates others problems, for example to convert server codepage of exceptions to client. I plan to change some of these things in the future so all charset names could be discovered independent of a database connection.
