Hi All,

I have read many blogs suggesting some examples for this.
But suggestions from you guys who have ACTUALLY worked on such a scenario
would help me out the best.


Current Database has:
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET - latin1
DEFAULT COLLATION : latin1_swedish_ci

We need to convert this to
 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET - utf8
DEFAULT COLLATION : utf8_general_ci


Note that this has to be done on a database that has *existing data* in it .

Hence just by doing a:

ALTER DATABASE <dbname> CHARSET=utf8;

would result in unexpected behaviour of the data.

Thanks!
Uma
