We have a saying here in Brazil that translates to something like "two wrongs
doesn't make one right".  I don't think that just because other vendors don't
get it right MySQL shouldn't get it too...  MS Access is nothing I would care
for commercial systems (even though there's a lot of semi-standalone systems
that use it here in Brazil, unfortunately).  Oracle has so many configuration
options that I wouldn't be surprised if there was some
w.x.y.z.something.enconding that activated the correct behavior and that came
with an ISO-8859-1 default so that it preserver backwards compatibility with
Oracle 2... :-P :-)

Oh well...  I tried giving you the minimum work to reproduce the behavior on
MySQL.  It is important that somebody shows that I am wrong or that there are
other parameters needed on the connection string, database setup, etc. so that
other people can fix their code.
