I have a mysql database that has latin1 tables. I need to convert every column, table, etc. to utf-8. Specifically:
Encoding: UTF-8
Collation: utf8_general_ci (or utf-8's default)
What would be the quickest way to make these sweeping changes to my database?
mysqldump, then edit your dump, replacing encoding specifiers for your tables and columns (and preserving your dump encoding in headerSET NAMEScommand), thenmysqlback.
