Title: improve mysql default settings

I think it's smart to set these PDO settings as default. This way you get the correct value types out of your database. I added two images with a var_dump() ouput after settings these options and before.

Take also note of the php documentation. It should be possible to use these settings with php 5.1 or greater.
