well i can just do http gets from the cfmx box to the cf5 box, easily
doable for me (only have 5-6 sites that need moving) but i know of
many others in the same boat as me with considerably more data &
considerably less patience. i was hoping for something a bit more
low level (though not quite db engine level, even if the sql server list
responses seem to indicate that ucs-2 & utf-8 encodings were the
same)....
