AIUI, the server encoding and the client encoding (here defined by the driver), don't necessarily have to match. In cases where the client encoding doesn't match the server encoding, the server translates from the client encoding to the server encoding. For related PostgreSQL documentation, see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/multibyte.html I'd be surprised if other database servers don't have similar functionality. I think a more likely problem is when the HTML charset and client encoding don't match. Of course, if the default is UTF-8 for the HTML, it makes sense to use UTF-8 in the database client (driver) as well.
