Hi all,

In the utf-8 wiki there's a statement that says:

Warning! Never use the following because it will create 	character set 
problems that are hard to solve: SET CHARACTER SET utf8;

However, as far as I remember it was recommended (and I still use this) 
to use

	SET NAMES utf8;
	SET CHARACTER SET utf8;

as value for [setDBinit] in localconf.php

Anyone know what problems may arise when using SET CHARACTER SET utf8;?

thanks,
Albert
