Re: what is the step to convert a db from latin1 to UTF8

sorry, my db version is 5.0 , not 5.1

And is that better to do this online ?

Any risk ? I am still not sure why we use iconv, I do another test, if your database character set is latin1 and you have actually stored a utf8 code inside, why you do mysqldump, it already convert the dump file to utf8 format already, why i still need iconv to convert the file ?

Experts, will you please give me an answer?
