SecondSight Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Hello ! I'm going to upgrade to IPB 4. My database's posts table is 5 Gb big. My server has 12 processors and the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 0 @ 3.20GHz. How long (approximately) will it take to convert it to UTF-8, in your opinion ? What should I do to make sure it works ? Turn off the board ? Disable server backups ? Thank you.
David.. Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Hello, A 5GB database might take ~25 minutes to convert. This is my estimation compared to the ~5 minutes it took me to convert a 1GB database. I strongly suggest you take a full backup before continuing and I suggest you turn your board offline when this is happening so new rows don't get entered in the database during the conversion. Also, UTF-8mb4 might be better.
