Comment (by MichaelH):

 This warning from http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php applies
 here, right?

 "WARNING: Those performing upgrades (especially blogs that existed before
 2.2) If DB_CHARSET and DB_COLLATE do not exist in your wp-config.php file,
 DO NOT add either definition to your wp-config.php file unless you read
 and understand Converting Database Character Sets. Adding DB_CHARSET and
 DB_COLLATE to the wp-config.php file, for an existing blog, can cause
 major problems."
