   I don't think above was done by me. Maybe Hirosi?

   Also could you add above?
   
   BTW, I'm going to add a new Cyrillic support to the multi-byte support
   next week (around 3/23-3/35) if this is not too late. Yes, I know we
   already have the rcode support. But it seems to have some difficulties
   with on-the-fly encoding conversion.  (Oleg, is this explanation
   correct?)
   
   Anyway, the new Cyrillic support will not kill existing rcode support. 
   In another word, users can choose whatever Cyrillic support they like.

      RECODE has no difficulties - it just does not allow to choose what
   encoding a client want to get. RECODE chooses client encoding by client IP
   address, what is very unflexible.

      I think new cyrillic support makes RECODE obsolete. Somewhere in the
   future we should remove RECODE, I think.

   Here is Oleg Bartunov not Oleg Broytman :-) Several months ago we discussed
   cyrillic support with mb code, but I was too busy and thanks to Oleg Broytmann
   who kindly agreed to communnicate with you.  Short question:
   Will ALTER TABLE has support for changing of encoding for existing
   data ?
   Not really difficulties but your mb support is an elegant and flexible way to
   do on-fly encoding support. rcode requires some fixed pre-configuration
   based on host/net  definitions.

   rcode IMHO could be removed from  the source if mb will works ok.
