2810	[patch] mysql encoding broken after upgrade from <4.1 to 5.0	dummy@…	Adrian Holovaty	"Hi,

I had a django-database on mysql 4.0.21 and tables encoded in latin-1. After upgrading to mysql 5.0.x django things that the mysql use tables in utf-8, but the encoding hasn't changed.

I think that a configurable database-encoding would be fix this. The DEFAULT should be utf-8 since this won't break the current behavior of django.

Regards,
Dirk"	defect	closed	contrib.admin		normal	duplicate		farcepest@…	Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
