Using the standalone utf8 converter script vs. the built in 4.0 upgrade

[Machsterdaemon]

Is it possible under normal circumstances to use the built in utf8 converter in the 4.0 upgrade script when upgrading from 3.4.6 to 4.0 on a medium sized community database with more than million posts?

Yes. There are very few technical differences between the two, actually, and the underlying codebase for both is pretty much identical (save for a few concessions for the IPS4 upgrader).

​Very nice thank you!
