Thanks for your answer. I'm a bit confused by your two final phrases. Why do you say that "All but SQL are now dead and BLR is an artifact without benefit ?" And, if BLR doesn't include datatype information, why do you say that I have to recompile triggers and SP anyway ? Aldo El 26/07/15 a

In the process of moving the data back and forth, using a temporary field of the right character set, you have to drop the original field an then recreate it. The process of dropping a field is a bit nasty because you have first to comment all the strored procedures and triggers in which this

Raffaele, thanks for your answer. The question is what prevents data loss in the first procedure ? Suppose the filed in question is FIRST_NAME VARCHAR(60) CHARACTER SET NONE so lets create a temporary field TMP_NAME VARCHAR(60) CHARACATER SET ISO8859_1 and then let
