character set when you don't manage the server

[Nikolas Galanis]

Hi

I have written a web application that is hosted in a server which uses the default character set. This causes problems in the sorting that MySQL does because most of the data is in Greek. When developing it locally, I run the MySQL server with the greek character set and sorting works fine.

How can I handle this on the server where (obviously) they don't use the greek character set? Is there a way to force the use of a specific character set when you dn't manage the MySQL server? Thanks.
