Utility to upgrade between mysql versions, some charset problems...
1 This is a module to solve a very specific migration issue.
2
3 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.
4
5 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.
6
7 It was successfully used during the latest server migration at Drupal Hispano, http://drupal.org.es

9 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.
10
11 How to use it.
12 ----------
13 0. Install and enable the module as usual.
14 1. Go to /update.php and select the Update 1 for this module. Run it only once
