What is the character encoding SQL_ASCII? I managed to store 8-bit latin1
characters in such a database by mistake and got errors when I tried to
get it out with a client encoding set to utf-8. I got strings out that was
not valid utf-8 strings.
From that I draw the conclusion that it's not restricted to old fashion
7-bit bit ascii.
My guess now is that it allows you to put in 8-bit values but that these
characters are unknown and just returned no matter what client encoding?
And when the client encoding is utf-8 it produces invalid strings.
