About character_set_*

[Zhigang Zhang]

Hello.

 

As I know, when client send data to server, the encoding converting process
is:

 

character_set_client  -->  character_set_connection --> db table encoding.

 

I think it is a short path than above way:

 

character_set_client  -->  db table encoding.

 

Why it is converted to "character_set_connection"?

 

 

Yours
