   * `charset`: Sets the charset used for client-server interaction ("SET NAMES `value`"). If multiple charsets are set (separated by a comma), the following charset is used if setting the charset failes. This enables support for `utf8mb4` ([introduced in MySQL 5.5.3](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-unicode-utf8mb4.html)) with fallback to `utf8` for older servers (`charset=utf8mb4,utf8`).
   * `clientFoundRows`: `clientFoundRows=true` causes an UPDATE to return the number of matching rows instead of the number of rows changed.
   * `loc`: Sets the location for time.Time values (when using `parseTime=true`). The default is `UTC`. *"Local"* sets the system's location. See [time.LoadLocation](http://golang.org/pkg/time/#LoadLocation) for details.
