Hi Michael
That's not necessarily true regarding UTF-8 on even Linux systems.
I need to tell the MySQL client in Fedora Core 6 that it needs to run
in UTF8 before I start any queries:-
$db->query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
otherwise it will default to latin_swedish and become the weak link in
the chain.

Like dinok said,
If I use $dbquery("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
I have it working.
But does that still means I have garbage in my db ?
Concretely I am storing the countries with their respective ISO
code from a
.csv file in my DB.
Now I don't know. I've never heard of SET NAMES 'utf8'. Must be a
Windows thing. On *nix systems everything runs in the UTF-8 locale [1]
so it all Just Works. But if you have it working, you're good.

[1] except for the web server which usually runs in the C locale
because it may need to handle many encodings simultaneously.
