                          I was facing some issues with the character's encoding. Those are resolved by updating the CHARACTER and COLLATE for some columns in the table. So my concern is 

- Is this conversion safe? 
- Or can this create issues for different encoding techniques?
- Also how to convert the CHARACTER and COLLATE for multiple columns of the table in the same MySQL query?
