DB charset in CI 1.6.0

Hi Derek,

yes I have added the two extra options in the database config file (and those things about AR, although I don't use them).

I did the profiler test, here's my output with the extra "set names" line in DB.php:

Code:

0.0002      SET NAMES 'utf8'
0.0010      SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY n_timestamp DESC LIMIT 5
... // more app-specific queries

and here it is without it:

Code:

0.0008      SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY n_timestamp DESC LIMIT 5
... // more app-specific queries

Don't know what to say... :/
