50 is a bit exaggerated.

The mysql client library is compiled to use latin1 by default. Is that something that can be changed in Sourcemod easily?

MySQL's collation is a property of the database, tables, and columns... it defaults to latin1 or something, whatever I hate MySQL entirely.

You can force a certain collation over the MySQL connection. Someone should file a SourceMod bug. We can't change the defaults but we can introduce generic API.

I don't like driver-specific code. It hurts. If we had better SQL abstraction I would not approve plugins which used driver-specific queries. But that's neither here nor there.
