====== setCharSet ======
~~NOTOC~~
<WRAP info>
Support for this command is limited to MySQL and Postgres databases, and as of ADOdb V5.21, this method is deprecated for MySQL databases, use [[v5:reference:connection:setconnectionparameter|setConnectionParameter()]] instead. Because Postgres allows the character set to be modified in real-time, it can be used at any point in the script after a connection has been established.
