<title>Description</title>
<para>This function is used to set the default character
set for the current connection. The string csname
specifies a valid character set name. The connection
collation becomes the default collation of the character
set. This function works like the SET NAMES statement,
but also sets the value of mysql->charset, and thus
affects the character set used by
