List,
Upon completing initial upgrade of 8.0 to 8.10 system (8.95_F1 Tools), I noticed that the database size for upgrade testing (PS_DEV) has extended from 91GB to 126GB on MS SQL 2000 Enterprise. I was preparing to execute the Unicode conversion for this database, but upon examination, it appears that the conversion has already occurred. In every instance, the CHAR data type has been converted to NCHAR, etc., and the extension of the database is appropriate for Unicode conversion. It is important to note that within the Upgrade Plan, we selected the "Unicode" option within the Business Data and Control Tables segments of the workbench (under Advanced), and the database data sources for this item currently appears with Unicode activated. Did this selection during the upgrade workbench actually execute the Unicode conversion? I have read at length that this conversion must be done after the fact using the Unicode Conversion workbench, but I cannot see any other explanation for this. Can anyone clarify this or shed more light on the process?
Thanks in advance.
