Re: changing charakters in long-datatypes

This answer is *ugly* ... better make that *UGLY* ... but ... (oh, yes, it is also totally untested - advance at you own risk) if you have a binary editor available to you (and know how to use it), and the table isn't to unmanagable, you ought to be able to (1) export the table; (2) use a binary editor to change chr(13) to chr(10) [or whatever]; (3) truncate the table; (4) import the table. I don't believe the export (or import) utilities do any checksums.
