Hello, I need your help and suggestions to solve a (maybe uncommon) task.
I searched a lot on the web, I had some success using a tool called fbclone but this is definitely not a solution (due to extreme slowness) I have a large Firebird 2.5 DB (a couple of tables have few millions records) to convert from WIN1251 charset to UTF8 charset. Is there a way to do efficiently this kind of conversion? (preferable not using a intermediate text sql dump, that would not applicable because the size of the DB). I'm using Firebird on a linux machine, and I really like to do the job using a bash script, but I can fallback also using a remote Windows pc. Thanks for any suggestions.
