PHProjekt 6

We need a solution to make Zend_Db configure the database connection
correctly so that it uses UTF-8.

This issue has been addressed in the Zend Framework with changeset 14691,
see http://framework.zend.com/code/changelog/Zend_Framework?cs=14691
This is published with ZF version 1.8.0.

A list of methods top deal with different databases is at

Earlier versions of ZF do not allow to use a single method of configuring
the db connection, but would need to use an individual solution for each db
driver.

Also, there should be a method to select the proper collaction for the
database. This affects sorting. The current setup method only supports
MySQL, and only allows utf8_general_ci as a collation. This works for the
english and german language, but there must be a reason that
utf8_spanish_ci exists. The collation for the database should be selected
based on the default language that is used with P6.
