Well then, here are really simple questions:

If you create a database with say ISO8859_1, will the UPPER function
correctly change øæå to ØÆÅ?

Can you change a database from NONE to say ISO8859_1 after it has
already been populated? I understand that I would need to update some
field content myself, but other than that, would it work?

Thanks,
George
