Greek and other special characters get mangled on upload of Oxrep to ORDS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upload the OxRep SQL dump to ORDS
2. Notice that Greek and other special characters are being replaced with '?'s
3. Express puzzlement as the upload seems to be working fine on people's local 
set-ups

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The special characters and non-Roman characters in the database should be 
displayed correctly within the ORDS.

biblioref
docref
transactions

I can confirm that the fix created for issue 617 is still in place - so this is 
something new.
