          value.  Takes precedence to 'binary' short-hand.

        :param ascii: Defaults to False: short-hand for the ``latin1``
          character set, generates ASCII in schema.

        :param unicode: Defaults to False: short-hand for the ``ucs2``
          character set, generates UNICODE in schema.

        :param national: Optional. If true, use the server's configured
          national character set.

        :param binary: Defaults to False: short-hand, pick the binary
          collation type that matches the column's character set.  Generates
          BINARY in schema.  This does not affect the type of data stored,
          only the collation of character data.
