Auto iconv of Doctrine query

Question

How do I set up Doctrine to automatically run iconv (Windows-1251 to Utf-8) when fetching data?

Answer 1

Why don't you just tell the RDBMS you're using to send the data in UTF-8? Doctrine_Connection has a setCharset method for this:

$connection->setCharset('utf8');

Answer 2

setCollation() is the corresponding one.
