Illegal mix of collations

[Kris Bekkers]

Hi all,
 
I recently downloaded mysql 5.x with the connector .NET beta2. Upon connecting to the database I always get "#HY000Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and
(utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='"
 
I then try to setup the character set on the server (my.ini: set it to latin1, utf8, etc. in all combinations thinkable).
 
In the end I "downgraded" to the latest stable mysql version (4.1.7) but the problem still arises.
 
In the driver.cs there is code setting this to utf8 if the mysql version is 4.1.6. or higher. If I change the code to set it to Latin1, I get on another place the error "stream does not support writing."
 
Anybody got anny clues on this one?
