understood but... / #3853

This is an old and ugly problem. Since we support MySQL4 and MySQL5 the creation statements differ (MySQL4 does not support CHARACTER SET).

To fix this we would need two different create statements (Which would be a good idea but also a lot of work):

1. Implement migration class
2. Check for mySQL version if necessary on each upgrade / installation

Also note, that I had some problem upgrading a database which was created with mysql4 to utf8. I would need to somehow reencode the entered data, but I am not sure how to do this.
