Question

CF5 to CFMX8 with Asian language

I have a client who is using CF5 with Asian characters such as Japanese (shift_jis), Korean (euc-kr), and Chinese (big5). The database is Oracle 9i and stored data as above character-set. Now they want to upgrade CF5 to MX8 but facing character-set problems.

I wonder if they can upgrade MX8 without converting the database character-set to UTF8 and website page characters to UTF8. They have very large data and do not want to spend too much money on this upgrade.

Please let me know if you have good suggestions.

    assuming that each of those codepages was stored in different tables or columns,
    try testing w/cfprocessingdirective set to those codepages.
