Safest way would be use the DELIMITED unload format. You might be able to use the no-convert format, I think. If I remember correctly, no-convert can be used if there are no changes to the table structure and it is code page dependent. >Is there anything else I have to be aware of? > No chance of doing an in-place upgrade?
