[TxMt] mysql bundle, password issues, utf8 encoding

[Tench]

Dear friends,

several people on this list have brought up the issue of non-sticking  
passwords in the new MySql bundle. There were suggestions to  
reinstall, revert bundles to original state etc –– I have done that,  
but I am still prompted for password with every query and with every  
change of table in the database browser.

What is the solution for this problem?

Secondly, I mentioned before that the mysql bundle is not happily  
working with non-latin unicode -- queries containing, for instance,  
Cyrilic or Greek are not executed as they should (they return no  
values), and  tables containing non-latin utf8 text display question  
marks instead of text.

I am kindly asking for any tips -- the mysql bundle has become  
unusable for me, and I need it very badly.

All best,
Tench
