[TYPO3-english] Charsets in mysql

[Tomaz Zaman]

Hey

I made an extension that list FE users, all went well, but now i have a 
small problem, I need to fetch users from database, but i would like to 
use 'SET NAMES utf8' ONLY(!!!) when querying for fe_users.

Is that possible?

(I made a mistake in not putting 'SET NAMES utf8' when the website was 
set up, now it is about 3GB big, so i cannot manually fix characters - 
the only ones that can be updated are fe users, because i get them from 
an LDAP server)
