Hi!

How I can set server variable  "character_set_system"  to cp1251 ?

    I can use xxx'char' construction - but I need a downward compatibility.
    I can select USER() and parse result on clientside - but I wan't rewrite
existing client apps.

> mysql -u root -e "select substring_index(USER(),'@',1)"
ERROR 1266 at line 1: Illegal mix of collations (utf8_general_ci,IMPLICIT)
and (
cp1251_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation 'substr_index'

> mysql -u root -e "show variables like '%character_set%'"
