Database conversion

[aishin]

Hi there,

Does anybody know how to convert the existing database from ISO8859-5 code page to ISO8859-1?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Aishin,

I think that there is no codepage conversion between ISO8859-5 to ISO8859-1, but in case you didn't use the extended characters of the character set, you should be ok.

You can do that using 'proutil convchar'; take a look at the KB #19912 - 'Converting an Existing Database to UTF-8' for more information how to do the database conversion.

In case you encounter more problems, you should take the thread on the <A HREF="/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=40"><B>I18N</B></A> forum.

HTH,
Dan

Hi Aishin,

I have tried converting from ISO8859 to 708 by:

1. proutil <dbname> -C convchar convert undefined
2. proutil <dbname> -C convchar convert 708.


You could probably try by
1. proutil <dbname> -C convchar convert undefined
2. proutil <dbname> -C convchar convert ISo8859-1.

Syed.
