Subject: During installation, if the database isn't UTF and it is empty,
X-Git-Url: http://git.mjollnir.org/gw?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1e64385dc591b48d56d0c01eab1810887f34064;p=moodle.git

During installation, if the database isn't UTF and it is empty,
then try and set it to UTF automatically.

I did MySQL only, can someone tackle this for PostgreSQL?
