I'm looking for someone with experience going from WE8ISO8859P1 to UTF8. I'm not sure of the steps involved and I would appreciate some help on this. Also, what problems will occurr if i have datatypes of BLOB and CLOB? Are there any conversion problems I need to be aware of with the data in my databases? Also, what is the conversion time on databases with roughly 500,000 records? Thanks, so much for the help and I am looking forward to returning the favor to someone else.
