Hello!
According to Web2py book, 'by default web2py uses utf8 character encoding 
for databases'. I get the contrary results: there are fields with type 
'string', mysql shows that they have collation utf8_general_ci, but when I 
select them with DAL, the type of returned fields are 'str', not 'unicode'.

db.define_table('customers',
                    Field('name', 'string'))

+-----------+--------------+-----------------+------
| Field     | Type         | Collation       | Null | Key | 
+-----------+--------------+-----------------+------+
| name      | varchar(512) | utf8_general_ci | 

print type(db(db.tradera_customers).select().first().name)
<type 'str'>

I tried to remove *.table in databases and to use db_codec parameter for 
DAL, but nothing changed.

Web2py version 2.9.11-stable, Python 2.7.9, MySQL ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.40

Is it a known bug or I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
