Hi,

now that UTF8 is sort of common international standard as far as Charsets are concerned, I wonder if the default Collation for MySQL databases still should be Latin1_swedish_ci as I see in a lot of server installations and system databases as mysql/information_schema/da_roundcube/performance_schema or that utf8_unicode_ci should be preferred in most common cases?

Does anyone have any opinion on this?

Regards,
