[Mapbender-dev] Discussion: Character sets (client encoding)

[Michael Schulz]

Christoph,

I think that makes perfect sense. This would mean no UTF-8/ISO
decision in mapbender.conf, no two data sqls...

It'll only require to set the webservers character set to UTF8 also?
Could this be a potential problem, e.g. with other software running on
the same server?

Just playing devil's advocat, I think we'll eliminate a lot of
problmes with that.

Cheers, Michael
