If PDO decided to use emulation by default (which has benefits like
fewer roundtrips etc.) it's not necessarily the issue from the database.
And that this doesn't work is obvious with emulation - PDO doesn't parse
the SQL and has no understanding of "SET NAMES", neither does the MySQL
client lib used. The proper way to set the encoding is by using the
DSN's charset option.
