Description:
Tested on MySQL-standard 4.0.22, and 4.0.24:
when in /etc/my.cnf i have:
default-character-set=win1250, and I have primary key field nazwa varchar(10) I become an error:
========
mysql> select * from t5 order by nazwa;
+--------+--------+
| nazwa  | liczba |
+--------+--------+
| a      |      0 |
| b      |      0 |
| ń       |      0 |
| ńn  |      0 |
| ó      |      0 |
| ósemka |      0 |
| osiem  |      0 |
+--------+--------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into t5 values ('o',0);
ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry 'o' for key 1
mysql>

How to repeat:
Construct table, like in description and try (IT MUST BE: primary key field nazwa varchar(10)).
In reality table with only one record it will be enough to test it:
+--------+--------+
| nazwa  | liczba |
+--------+--------+
| ó      |      0 |
+--------+--------+
Then try:
insert into t5 values ('o',0);

Suggested fix:
"o" and "ó", "ń" and "n" and other polish letters are not the same - it should be corrected

is this the same problem as in bug 9604?
