I guess my first option should be to force the server to use utf8 as default. I would have no problems in doing so, because I hardly use any latin1 anymore.
But how would I do so? The mysqld has some options for this, but I didn't manage yet to simply restart it with new options, because it is started somewhere in the init.d-procedure of my Linux system and even as root I cannot simply invoke it from the command line.
