title: Rails 2.3.5, Ruby 1.9, SQLite 3 incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT
body: <p>I know that question with same title has been asked almost 6 month ago.</p>
  
  <p>I have Googled for this problem and I have not found any working solution.</p>
  
  <p>Has there been any fixes for this very critical problem?</p>
  
  <p>I need to get my website running ASAP. Just to get the site up and running I'm even ready to add utf8 conversion methods to all my variables or risk to upgrade to Rails 3 beta</p>
  
  <p>Thank You in advance!</p>
