[Gambas-user] Collation support in database driver

[Benoît Minisini]

Collation support has been implemented in revision #6494, as a 
last-minute feature before the coming-soon Gambas 3.6.

It "just" allows you to define the collation of a specific text field, 
both by code and from the IDE database editor.

In MySQL/MariaDB, if you don't define it, the default collation is used, 
which may be defined by the table, the server of the client. But you 
can't define these defaults, as that feature is not supported by other DBMS.

Another important point for MySQL: the charset support is implicit. If 
you specify a collation named "xxx_yyy", then the charset "xxx" is assumed.

There is no explicit charset support otherwise.

Please report any problem with it!
