Re: Change server encoding after the fact

That worked, but "file" shows no difference:

$ iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -c foo.sql > utf.sql

$ file -i foo.sql

foo.sql: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

$file -i utf.sql

utf.sql: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

So iconv didnt actually convert the file OR does is the "file" command just ignorant?

Hmmm, if you try this does it work (mostly)?

iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -c < infile > outfile
