Thanks. Is this something I can do through phpMyAdmin? I'm not used to working with MySQL directly and don't understand exactly what this command means: shell> mysqldump [options] --all-databasesDoes "shell" mean I have to be working in some sort of command line program?
Also, if I can't figure this out and have to resort to creating new databases, should I just ignore the Collation feature, presumably letting it set a default setting, or should I enter a particular value?
