Hendrik is right about the –no-create-info option: that should be left out or the tables cannot be reconstructed. But even after changing that, this method left me with garbled characters. When I query my (old) database from the command line, the special characters (like trademark, copyright, euro etc.) show up correct. When I export, they are represented by multiple bogus characters. On to the next attempt... Bye Mike I tried this, but for me it didn’t work.

It omits all CREATE TABLE statements. So in your next step mysql -u username -p new_database < dump.sql no tables can't be created. Best, Hendrik Are you sure the
–no-create-info
is correct here. It omits all CREATE TABLE statements. So in your next step
mysql -u username -p new_database < dump.sql
no tables can’t be created.
Best,

Hendrik

That is the most important thing. And of course in <code>mysqldump</code> you should specify <code>--skip-set-charset</code> to have a dump file without any references to the previous (wrong) charset. Let me now... thank you very much. Did you set the configuration in my.cnf to impose to the mysql client to use utf8 in its connection to the server? That is the most important thing.
