the greek characters are stored as double byte fonts?

I think it is time to upgrade mysql. 3.x is very old, and propably there is no way to do what you want there.

In fact I think even in the early 4.x versions there were needed a patch to make it work with greek characters.

I don't think that there is any patch/upgrade.

You just have to take an SQL export of all your databases (with phpMyAdmin or mysqldup from console) and import them to a new version.

BTW if your host don't support this millenium's versions on software then you might try to find another host Tongue
