install mysql client and mysql-server with default charset utf8 to fedora 11

I only have utf8 characters to put into my db so like everything in the db is utf8.

I tried 'yum install mysql mysql-server -with-charset=utf8' but it is not right.

if i install using ''yum install mysql mysql-server' i got defaut latin1 charset.

Any suggestion and help are much appreciated!

in /etc/my.cnf

default-character-set=utf8

if you will use only this charset

for databases already created which use latin1 charset, do the following

alter database database_name charset=utf8;

for each table:

alter table table_name charset=utf8;

for each varchar/char type column:

alter table table_name alter column column_name charset=utf8;
