I had problems with blob fields beeing treated as Strings as well. I made a little change, so it is posible to exclude some fields from the conversion.
use in model like this: recode_legacy_database :from => "ISO-8859-1", :to => "UTF-8", :exclude => ["myblob1","myblob2"] Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/2936/recode_legacy_database.rb -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Railsi18n-discussion mailing list Railsi18n-discussion@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/railsi18n-discussion
