I have discussed this issue with Vikram on #mysql and IMHO it is wrong in concept for a collation change to affect column type: As it is not concerning the contents of the field but merely interpretation. Naturally he didn't expect to have to change his code. But then perhaps the driver writer held a different opinion. > so I'd like to ask everyone with some MySQL > knowledge to have a look at it.
