      It would be nice if you could choose the encoding of the sql dump when you import it, like in phpMyAdmin

      It is ABSOLUTELY not without problems if it shall work with all versions of MySQL – both those that use COLLATION and those that do not.

      Up to 4.0 it would be not problem to include a DEFAULT CHARSET= xxx.

      but with 4.1 ++ it must be DEFAULT CHARSET=xxx COLLATE=xxx_yyy, but the COLLATE=xxx_yyy must be with each column definition.

      From MySQL 4.1 there are so many “encodings” (your expression, not a MySQL expression) if you consider each COLLATION variation an “encoding”, that I believe it will be very confusing.
