Hello.
I've tested your solution. It doesn't work for users which have SUPER privilege. This mentioned at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html However, it works with with ordinary users which don't have SUPER privilege. Here are pieces of my my.cnf (the init_connect is one big string without line breaks): [client] default_character_set=latin1 [mysqld] default_character_set=latin2 init_connect='SET @lchar = IF(@@session.character_set_client = _utf8"latin1", @@global.character_set_client, @@session.character_set_client); set @@[EMAIL PROTECTED]; set @@[EMAIL PROTECTED]; set @@[EMAIL PROTECTED]; ' When root user connects init_connect doesn't execute and we see: mysql> show variables like '%char%'; +--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | character_set_client | latin1 | | character_set_connection | latin1 | | character_set_database | latin2 | | character_set_results | latin1 | | character_set_server | latin2 | | character_set_system | utf8 | | When user without SUPER privilege connects we see: | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | character_set_client | latin2 | | character_set_connection | latin2 | | character_set_database | latin2 | | character_set_results | latin2 | | character_set_server | latin2 | | character_set_system | utf8 | So it works for me. >> http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqldump.html > Dump & restore was done properly. dump on 4.0, add set names latin2; load i= > nto=20 > 4.1.
