Re: upgrading from 5.0 to 8.0.5

I am not sure how many tables are in the DB or how much of the data values are affected by the problem. If it is relatively small, then how about this:

1. create the new empty o8 Db
2. import from v5 into v8 rows=n
3. import (like normal) all tables w/o the charset problem
4. unload the problem data via a C program which preserves the char data
5. load the data into via SQL*Loader
