in short that is bad, i would do a unload/load cycle you can easly use recode/iconv or friends to convert the problem is that you have to check carefully no to convert to much. If you can unload only the Latin1 that would be a great help, also having binary data will make thinks more complicated. re, wh -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
