97# The alternative is we just quit on cancel, but then: cancel could leave the table in a partial committed state, with no way of rolling back.

160 # HOWEVER:
161 # It turned out insufficient setting the encoding to utf8, as that only supports utf8 chars that
162 # need up to 3 bytes. We may need up to 4 bytes per utf8 character, e.g. chars with macron,
163 # and for that, we need the encoding to be set to utf8mb4.
164 # To set up a MySQL db to use utf8mb4 requires configuration on the server side too.

166 # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46727362/perl-mysql-utf8mb4-issue-possible-bug
167 # To set up the db for utf8mb4, therefore,
168 # the MySQL server needs to be configured for that char encoding by running the server as:
169 # mysql-5.7.23-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64/bin>./mysqld_safe --datadir=/Scratch/ak19/mysql/data --character_set_server=utf8mb4
170 # AND when connecting to the server, we can can either set mysql_enable_utf8mb4 => 1
171 # as a connection option
172 # OR we need to do both "set NAMES utf8mb4" AND "$dbh->{mysql_enable_utf8mb4} = 1;" after connecting
173 #
174 # Search results for DBI Set Names imply the "SET NAMES '<enc>'" command is mysql specific too,
175 # so setting the mysql specific option during connection above as "mysql_enable_utf8mb4 => 1"
176 # is no more objectionable. It has the advantage of cutting out the 2 extra lines of doing
177 # set NAMES '<enc>' and $dbh->{mysql_enable_utf8mb4} = 1 here.
178 # These lines may be preferred if more db_driver options are to be supported in future:
179 # then a separate method called set_db_encoding($enc) can work out what db_driver we're using
180 # and if mysql and enc=utfy, then it can do the following whereas it will issue other do stmts
