Hey Prometheus,
Haha thanks! And thanks very much for the post - very clear.
The installation script should let you choose whatever charset you want, but I'm not totally sure it's possible to get that info from MySQL within PHP... (anyone?). I'll have to do a little digging on that.
But yeah, I'll be adding that in 2.0.2. Even if it can't be detected, it should at least provide the option under an "Advanced Options" section to let advanced users do this.
Also, relating to the "row size too large" problem is the database collation type itself. Form Tools uses InnoDB, but it'll be moving back to MyISAM. That'll also help resolve this sticky little problem.
Anyway, thanks very much!!!
