[TYPO3-dev] Weird Upgrade Problem 4.1.x -> 4.2.x

[Peter Russ]

On a system a new customer asked us to upgrade we experience weird 
upgrade problems with Mysql:
MySQL 5.0.51 running on utf-8

Before update we get Umlaute displayed in sys_template
When updating lot of sys_template fields get converted from blob to 
something more specific. By that Umlaute get's lost, i.e. the template 
get trunicated at the first occurrance of an Umlaut.

We tried to fix by exclude the sys_template fields from upgrade. That 
helps a little because fields in other tables are also converted from 
blob to something. And we experience the same problem there.

So to make it short:
Is there parameter that we can add to setInitDB to enable clean transfer 
from blob to any other required type?

Thanks in advance. Peter
