that's hardly true these days. but how do you know windows-1251 was used to
enter the data? how exactly was the data entered? web forms? somebody key it
via enterprise manager?
i don't know of any "russian" encodings but the last time i looked there
were at least 5 cyrillic encodings (no idea but i'll guess these are not
equivalent since there are so many of them). which sort of rivals the CJK
locales' encodings. without looking at the rest of your issues i suggest
cycling thru those until you find the one that was used with the data and
then work from that. i'm also fairly certain that if an "N" datatype wasn't
used you're probably looking at some kind of mutation.
just use unicode©
