Hi, I have the need to convert the collation of a database in Mysql (14Gb).

My database is using collation latin1 (ISO-8859-1), I need to convert it to UTF-8.

I found the forum two ways of doing this, (FAQ: 4200202 and 4200315). The message recommends FAQ 4200202 perform the procedure using the "Recode", since the message 4200315 FAQ recommends using the procedure via script.

What is the best option for me to make this conversion? Since my database is now 14Gb.
