Re: Message from Maintainer to DBD::mysql users, developers

I apologise for what might seem somewhat of a bit of neglect on my part to get
some features into DBD::mysql, features such as UTF support, some bugs in
3.0002_4. I've been super busy on some other projects, but have finished one of
them and have today started to go through my mail in order to start addressing
some needs of DBD::mysql.

I'm wondering if it might help to discuss within this list what priorities
users would like to see addressed in DBD::mysql, so I could come out with some
sort of road map.

Sorry for the late reply, but I just stumbled across it again recently:

Since mysql supports different charsets per table and even per column,
I'd like an option to automatically convert them to and from perl's
internal UTF-8 encoding.

(Actually, I'd like that to be the default behaviour, but it probably
would break a lot of existing scripts, so it should be an option at
first)
