| I have a total of 60GB's in several database with encoding set to SQL_ASCII. I am using version 8.0. The data has always been encoded in CP1252 prior to inserting into the database. I have characters between 0x80 and 0x9F scattered throughout the databases which I cannot loose. I noticed in version 8.1 I can set the database encoding to WIN1252. Will the following work to keep from loosing the above characters: Upgrade to 8.1 Create the databases in CP1252 Restore the data Dump the databases again to set the appropriate encoding in the dump file Create the databases with UTF-8 encoding Restore the data Thanks in advance, Doug -- Robert D Oden Database Marketing Technologies, Inc 951 Locust Hill Circle Belton MO 64012-1786 Ph: 816-318-8840 Fax: 816-318-8841 roden@dbasetek.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings |
