See #577

There is the charset definition from my brand new MySQL 8 server.

And when I use PyMySQL to connect to the server, an exception about charset raised.

Doesn't they conflict with other servers compatible MySQL protocol, especially MariaDB?
Is there any reason to add collation other than 255?
Especially, collation with id>255 can't be used in protocol.

Since MySQL 8 is not GA yet, I don't want to add them now
even if they doesn't conflict with MariaDB.

I encountered the same problem,

How did I add 46 character set ? Where can I get the information of the character set 46?

My mysql server is stated on the Windows Server 2012 R2 .

Below is my error message!! Please Ref.

What version of MySQL do you use?
Why don't you use utf-8?

I can't figure out what I setup the language encode option.
Where can I modify the option??

Thanks!
