Just a little question about this. You compiled with "--with-charset=latin1

wonder if utf8 might be better but I am not sure if that would break
compatibility.

Hi Pierre,

Sometime ago, when i started to work in the mysql update, i was going to use utf8, but, talking to Jan, he pointed some cases where this could break existing databases, so i had to maintain latin-1 as the default encoding.

You can still choose the collation on a per-database basis, so this shouldn't hurt anyone!
