From: To
those that know, We
originally built our database with a character set of SQL_ASCII. We now
know the error of our foolish ways. We are trying to upgrade to 8.4 and
the windows binaries would like us to use UTF8. I would like to use a
backup to restore onto the new installation, however I am getting warnings and
errors about how I am trying to restore a SQL_ASCII character set to a UTF8
Database. I need to have confidence that my data is intact before I can
continue with the upgrade. I was wondering what would be the best course
of action. I currently have the 8.4 database installed on a separate
machine for testing. Thank
you for all your help |
