Hi,
Is it a so hard, or a so easy question, that nobody answers it? :) Or just
should wait some more hours, and don't hurry so much? ;)
Bye,

So, I started learning, how MySQL 5.0 handles character sets. It is, what I
think about it:
character_set_client | latin1
This is, what the client thinks about itself, determined from the
environment. It will be used for autoconverting character data sent from the
client.
character_set_connection | latin1
This is, what the client thinks about the server, but I'm not sure, how it
will be determined, and what exactly is it for. As the documentation says, it
will be used for autoconverting character data sent to the server.
character_set_database | latin1
It's the general database default character set, used when you create a
table. No more additional meaning. ?
character_set_results | latin1
It is, what the client thinks about itself, and will be used for converting
character data coming from the server.
character_set_server | latin1
Pass.
character_set_system | utf8
Pass.
And another strange thing I found: you can set the table's (default)
character encoding, but I see no effect. The table data - of course - won't
be converted (that's another alter table command), the results I got won't be
changed - so I don't know, what exactly default table character set is good
for.
