Yeah, it's not supported by CI... you can "crack" the code to avoid this error to happen, open system/database/drivers/mysql/mysql_driver.php, on line 97 you should have

Code:

return @mysql_query("SET NAMES '".$this->escape_str($charset)."' COLLATE '".$this->escape_str($collation)."'", $this->conn_id);

add a line before it (or replace it) with

Code:

return true;
