If you get the error

CODE:
Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE)


then you are probably using a buggy MySQL version. MySQL 4.1.16 and later as well as 5.0.17 and later have this bug fixed. Please see: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=10446. If you get this error during upgrade from G2.0.x or older to G2.1 or newer, please see: MySQL Upgrade Issue - UTF-8.
