No, but having built-in functions that can do codeset conversion would
be nice.

-- convert from the default SQLite codeset/encoding (UTF-8) to a given
-- codeset
select iconv(foo, NULL, 'ISO-8859-1') from ...;

-- convert to a codeset given by some row column
select iconv(foo, from_cs, to_cs) from ...;

-- convert to the current locale's codeset
select iconv(foo, NULL, NULL) from ...;

And functions for Unicode normalization and what not would be nice as
well.
