that sounds like a bit of a PITA to do :(


I just rechecked a couple of my own databases and one of them still has tables mysqlimport decided by itself to convert from utf8_general to latin1_swedish :bhead

I appreciate the tip, it did point me in the right direction.

Why SMF would provide conversion to UTF8, but no function to revert is a bit puzzling.  

Yes, I got bit my the conversion to latin1_swedish a while back on another database while migrating to a newer version of MySQL.  Thankfully it was a small database with several small tables (no need to do the "copy to tmp" thing).

Because back conversion is lossy and also because all new HTML standards are based on unicode.

Not to expose my ignorance, but how do you use the umlaut, and other accents?

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
