I wrote a cold fusion script to migrate data from an access 2000 db to a mysql 4.0.18 db and when I display the data with cold fusion I see these little box characters in different spots.

I'm assuming that it's an issue with the encoding. How do I correct this?

Looks like you might have some garbage characters in the data for one reason or another. First find out what characters those are:


mysql -e "select garbage_col from t" > /tmp/garbage-col.txt
then view the file in a hex editor

Once you know the trouble characters:

update t1 set garbage_col = replace(garbage_col,char(garbage_ascii),'')
