Database encoding and collation

[Rodrigo Barboza <rodrigombufrj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys.

I created a database with default encoding (SQL_ASCII) and default collate (C).

I created a table test like this:

create table test (a varchar (10));

Then i executed "insert into teste (a) values ('áéç&ã','Æ','ß');

After that:

select * from test;

    a

---------

 áéç&ã

 Æ

 ß

Why did it stora correctly if those values are not ASCII?
