I need to convert a table with a lot of data from Latin1 to utf8 so that it can accept Korean characters. How do I alter that table without corrupting the data that's in there? What would my SQL statement be? What's the best way to proceed?
ALTER TABLE database_name.table_name CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;
Export (dump) the database, and reimport it with the new encoding.
