Why need to set Character Sets/Collation if using UTF8
Posted by: howa chen

From my experience, even using Latin character set, I can store any UTF-8 characters in the table, and one of the advantage is: I don't need to set names utf8 in each connection.

So what is the reason of setting character set & collation when creating table?

Thanks.
