Convert OPT to SQL

Can you convert OPT to SQL?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert OPT to SQL?
No - not a direct conversion.

db.opt isn't data to export - it records a database's default charset/collation. The equivalent in SQL terms is the 'CREATE DATABASE ... CHARACTER SET ... COLLATE ...' statement, which mysqldump already emits. There's nothing to 'convert' from the file itself.
