MySQL: Umlaute beim Import und Export erhalten

Es geschieht schon häufiger, dass bei einem Umstieg auf einen neuen Server oder bei einem Update nach dem Im- bzw. Export der MySQL-Datenbanken plötzlich die Umlaute falsch dargestellt werden.

Das liegt daran, dass der Standard-Zeichensatz von PhpMyAdmin inzwischen auf UTF-8 eingestellt ist. Viele Datenbanken, verwenden aber noch den in Deutschland gebräuchlichen Zeichensatz ISO-8859-1 oder ISO-8859-15. Das heisst, die Exportdatei von PHPMyAdmin muss in UTF-8 konvertiert werden.
