[Gtk-sharp-list] Convert Strings

[Jorge Monsalvo]

OK. What I did was a backup from my database and recreate it from sql file
adding a SET CHARACTER SET UTF8 as first command. Nothing happends.Second
attempt: Send SET CHARACTER SET command as first command as soon as my
application has a good connection from DB server. Nothing happends.
I'm really don't know what is happening.

Thanks

Jorge Monsalvo

Set your database encoding to utf-8, either by reCREATEing all or by using
"SET CHARACTER SET UTF8" as first SQL sentence.
