The server uses the name to set the character_set_client, character_set_results, and character_set_connection system variables. In effect, the server performs a SET NAMES operation using the character set name." -- found that in mysql's docs. is that saying that since we have the init_connect setting, when we connect to the db, from say a php script, it'll automatically set those three settings accordingly on it's own? “When a client connects to the server, it sends the name of the character set that it wants to use.
