skontroloval som teda charsety v mojej databazke (mysql servri) a vystup premennych (sql prikaz show variables like "c%" ) je:

character_set_client utf8
character_set_connection utf8
character_set_database utf8
character_set_results utf8
character_set_server latin1
character_set_system utf8
character_sets_dir C:\apache2triad\mysql\share\charsets\
collation_connection utf8_slovak_ci
collation_database utf8_general_ci
collation_server latin1_swedish_ci

cize - ma velmi drazdia tie zmienky o latin1... no a toto by som rad zmenil - aby vsade bolo utf8 lebo verim ze to vyriesi moj problem.

Takze - ako sa daju nastavovat tieto premenne v sql? resp - kde je nejaky konfiguracny subor pre mysql (zufalo ho neviem najst)
