latin 1 (swedish) collation to UTF-8 on a test database (with data in it)


Recommended Posts

My current test database uses the default collation of swedish - latin 1.

I want to convert the database to use UTF-8.

Can I simply use PHPmyAdmin to change the structure of the database and tables to UTF-8?

There are no foreign characters in the current test tables, only normal latin characters from the english language.

I wasnt sure if I had to write some form of migration scripts - as I dont want to mess up my test data.

 

Anyone got any ideas, or can confirm that its as simple as I'm hoping?
