Database upgrade success but has one strange utf8 table

[dharma]

I upgraded from 138a to 139d today. The db upgrade was successful without any errors and the site works ok so far in my testing.

I noticed however that one table "counter_history" is in utf-8_general_ci while all my other other tables are in latin1.

Is this what is suppose to happen? or did I make a mistake somewhere? The counter history is working fine.

here is that table before and after the upgrade (phpmyadmin dump)

Before:

-- Table structure for table `counter_history`
--

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `counter_history`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `counter_history` (
  `startdate` char(8) default NULL,
  `counter` int(12) default NULL,
  `session_counter` int(12) default NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

-- 

After:

-- Table structure for table `counter_history`
--

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `counter_history`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `counter_history` (
  `startdate` char(8) character set latin1 NOT NULL default '',
  `counter` int(12) default NULL,
  `session_counter` int(12) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`startdate`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

-- 

This appears to be the only difference in my dbs.

Before the upgrade I created 2 new "my_db_charset.php" files and defined latin1 as the CHARSET in both: : define('DB_CHARSET', 'latin1'); and left the installer_params.php unchanged as latin1.


or should I do the upgrade again?
