Upgrading quickly is problematic. And trying to upgrade just the database system and not the clients is also problematic. Or perhaps the reverse if that is the problem. At least not without testing. In another set of systems I tried upgrading just half of things and then the clients and server were out of sync with options they were trying to pass. It caused a lot of problems. How much of a problem is this? Can we scan the data before storing it and detect when we will have the problem and then encode it then? Bob
