Re: Import character set issue:

Just one thing to add to Rauf's reply: Do you have any non-ASCII characters (umlats or such) in your ASCII db? If not, nothing to worry about. If so, a _lot_ to worry about, I would recommend you unload and load rather than have imp be overly friendly to your data.

I did have a scare one time where some vendor had used character variables to store their own version of a sequence. Going from 7bit to 8bit changed all the sequence numbers.
