Description:
mysql-administrator ignores the option "character-set-server" BUT it doesn't complain about "default-collation" which goes by pair. Non of the tow options are supported by mysql-administrator, though.

This is a non-critical bug as mysql-administrator doesn't alter existing definitions of the "character-set-server" and "default-collation" options.

Warning: The option character-set-server is not known. Please file a bug report if this is a valid option.

No warning for "default-collation" ... not supported anyways (as far as I've figured out).

How to repeat:

a/ Create/Edit a /etc/my.cnf  file. Do a backup copy.

b/ Enter the following options

character-set-server	= utf8
default-collation	= utf8_unicode_ci

c/ Use mysql-administrator to edit other startup parameter options

d/ Save your changes

e/ Diff the /etc/my.cnf with your backup

Suggested fix:
Support of the "character-set-server" and "default-collation" options would be strongly appreciated ... as a SHOW CHARACTER SETS and SHOW COLLATION commands exist.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Administrator into MySQL Workbench. We won't fix this anymore.
