Hi Ruslan,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I've just registered for the bug tracker, and will add a request.  Thanks.

Do I have to set the database StorageEncoding to "UTF-8" to get them back as
UTF-8?  Or will they come back as UTF-8 if I set them as UTF-8?  Either is
fine - I'll go with whichever is quicker :-)  I'm happy to get them back as
UTF-16 if it avoids the conversion, even if it is a quick conversion.

Dave.
