FYI, you all may find it worth your money to invest in Pervasive Software's Data Integrator. It's in the range of $4000-$6000 for a one machine license, but very well worth the cost. It is set up to deal with conversion of data types like that very easily. If you decide on doing something like that though talk to me - it does have it's limits as we are finding out.
