Yes!

The installer tries to do nifty things with the charset/collation. I 
think Stucki tried some clever things with it. Anyway Mysql 4.0 simply 
doesn't understand that statement.

I think that when the function returns an empty array then the installer 
simply will not add a charset/collation definition to the table. Which 
is no loss IMHO because the statement only retrieves the default values. 
So there is little point in it. Or am I missing something, Stucki?

BTW, DBAL lacks this method in 4.2.x and so DBAL doesn't work at ALL 
thanks to this addition.
