Hi everybody,
we are struggeling with problems on our MySQL Database (5.7.29, Commercial Edition) with the configured default character-set utf8 so we have to convert this database so that it uses utf8mb4 as default characterset.
What is the preferred way to do this?
I think creating a new MySQL Database with the new default characterset utf8mb4 and then doing an export / import of the data is better then executing a bunch of sql statements which are altering the structure of the database, tables and so on.
Has anybody done this before?
Any help would be appreciated.
Greetings,
Daniel
