This is a module to solve a very specific migration issue.

We were running Drupal 4.7 in the old server with Mysql 3 -which doesn't support utf8-. So when we moved to a new web hosting, with Mysql 4.1 we had some text using Spanish UTF-8 characters quite garbled.

It seems that, as we were running on Mysql 3, the upgrade script for Drupal 4.7 didn't update our tables for utf-8. So we needed to run only once that specific update step.

It was successfully used during the latest server migration at Drupal Hispano, http://drupal.org.es

Use it at your own risk. It may well completely garble your content if not used right or not used to fix this very specific issue.
