Database connection string and collation
问题 Is it possible to set connection collation within MySql connection string and how, since there's a default setting on the server that's used for new connections. Two things I can't do : Can't call SET COLLATION_CONNECTION after I open a connection, because I'm using Entity Framework that does all the calls for me not entirely true as you may see in the edit Can't change server default connection collation because of other databases and their respected applications that use them. All I'd like
