RE: migrating 4.0 to 5.0
Here's what we did and still do : Our 4.x tables and databases were/are in Latin-1 and all the 5.x tables are/were in utf8. That means that the entire regiment of items (every column, every table, every database) in the old system (4.1) was latin-1 and all the destination items in 5.x were entirely utf8. Sumary : We used MySQLdump to dump the files and then I use a tool to replace all occurrances of latin1 to utf8 then I use mysql command-line client to load / execute those resultant dump-files. For reference, our MY.INI files say (not sure if it is actually heeded) : default-character-set=latin1 Steps : 1 Here is a single table dump line from the dump portion of my scripts : @mysqldump --quick --default-character-set=latin1 -uroot --password=secretpassword --port=3306 --skip-set-charset --skip-comments --add-drop-table -c -C -h databasehost -r UseThisFileForInput.sql DatabaseToUse --tables AddressListTables 2 Then we run a program to search/replace all occurrances of latin1 to utf8 (shareware program called search-replace)... but other replacement tools will probably work too @sr32 /u /i /p /q /n f:\DailyBackupLogic\*.sql /slatin1 /rutf8 Your replacement methods will be different in form, but likely identical in function. 3 Then we use this line to load it into the database : mysql --local-infile=1 -uroot --password=secretpassword --port=3310 -DNewDatabasename -hImprovedDatabaseServer --port=3310 -b -C -e \.

If the characterset for your tables is latin, then this should be OK. But do you also specify the connection/client characterset? If your server defaults to utf8, setting it after connecting might be required.
