I Couldn't find anything that replace the mysql_fetch_field function in PDO.

I just found this hint: "pdo doesn't care about charsets. if you want to have your connection in unicode / utf-8 or any other encoding, you'll have to tell your database, for example using $dbh->exec('SET CHARACTER SET utf8') (mysql)"

But what is with Tables like this:

SET CHARACTER SET utf8;
CREATE TABLE `newtable` ( 
  `Id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
  `NewField` varchar(255) default NULL, 
  `NewField2` varbinary(255) default NULL, 
  PRIMARY KEY  (`Id`) 
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; 

If I now SELECT something, Id and NewField is UTF8 but NewField2 is still binary (like a JPEG).

Is there an option or is this not implemented?
