Just looking through the MySQL manual and have a few question about some settings.
1. Do I need to use "--set-charset" if my board runs on a specific charset and/or if I allow special characters for users' display names?
2. -q
Supposed to be useful when dumping large tables. Will I get exactly the same dump file regardless of whether I include the -q function? (just want to make two dumps to compare if everything went through correctly).
3. -v (verbose)
Will this churn out more info as the dump is being made? Anyone found this useful?
