Hola El Rug,

Following up this thread...I've now converted my MySQL database from latin1/swedish to utf8.  The database backups (gzipped SQL dumps) have plummeted in file size by a quarter, from 6.4MB to 4.7MB.

Does this sound right?  It seems a surprising large decrease to me.

Cheers,

Andy Stewart
