Hi,
do you set in phpMyAdmin on the main page the collation to latin1 [1]?

I have a question about something that's always annoyed me (not actually a problem so not worthy of a JIRA request IMO).
My MyISAM tables are collated as latin1_swedish_ci. As far as usage in my HTML reports goes, everything works great, so I'm happy with this setup.
However, if I browse one of these tables in phpMyAdmin, (and under the very unnoticeable +Options link in the browse view, uncheck "Show binary contents as HEX") I don't get the proper display of values.
For instance a table whose column is stored as
dab_title varchar(255) binary NOT NULL default ''
will display as
Jarosław_Dąbrowski
when I want
Jarosław Dąbrowski
and indeed that's what I get when I display it in a report. Again, not a problem, but I was wondering if anyone knows an easy way to get phpMyAdmin to display the contents properly.
Thanks, Jason
