In european languages "Ã..." is usually a sign you have utf8
characters in latin 8bit fields.

Massimo, I can see that for MySQL you do other=' ENGINE=InnoDB
CHARACTER SET utf8;' but I fail to see a similar statement for MSSQL
or other databases. How do you make sure they create tables in utf8 ?

Also, what is perhaps missing is the collation. Character sets are
cool, but if you want to use the DAL with 'orderby' on a non-english
(>128 ascii actually) language table, you're in trouble without
collations.
