Force database encoding charset

When creating the tables during the installation the charset is not set. This means that the tables will use the default server charset. When your language charset is something different than the MySQL charset it could cause problems with saving and fetching some characters.

It's possible to force a certain charset on a table:
CREATE TABLE ... CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

  1. We already have done this as apart of the UTF-8 Fixes - It will also be in the 1.2.10 release.
