Hi, I'm currently using the official MySQL binaries and I have to issue 'SET NAMES utf8' queries on every connection to override the default values for character_set_connection and collation_connection.
I was wondering how to avoid the overhead that issuing these queries introduces. After some searching it appears that my only option would be to recompile the server with the desired defaults. Is this correct or is there another way to achieve the same effect? Thanks for your time!
