I don't recall why I added "usage not recommended" to the test. Let me
check with Georg. He had some concerns on the function as far as I
remember.
I checked with Georg. My memories regarding Georg's position are totally
wrong. He once introduced mysql_set_charset to the MySQL Client Library
(AKA "libmysql" - marketing gets confused when I use libmysql, sorry).
He explained to me that using SET NAMES is what is not recommended when
using libmysql because:
- there is no verification if the client knows the charset
- the internal mysql->charset field will not be set properly
I don't know how that "usage not recommended" comment has crept in the
test. Probably my fault...
