Description
Django's ORM cannot set collations (MySQL >=4.1) for tables and their fields.
E.g.
field TextField()
is translated into
`verse` text character set utf8 NOT NULL
but (in my case) I would like to set:
`verse` text collate utf8_polish_ci NOT NULL

Hi Jarosław, if you have an idea how to extend the database API for collations, we'd like to know! It would help to evaluate this ticket.

I'm pretty sure that the refactoring of the MySQL backed and support for DATABASE_OPTIONS fixed this; reopen if you still have problems on current trunk.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I've tried to hack Django's code, but it need more time than I expected.
Info about collations used in MySQL can be found here and here. This is very usefull feature of MySQL (>=4.1) for international applications, because collations can be set *independent* for every field in the table.
