    Hi,
    I've had custom fields for years and most are the 'Common Field' type. I'm interested in changing some of them to 'SQL' type through the aMemeberCP/Add Fields/Edit. My question is, will this works (as in move all of the data already in those fields into its own SQL field). Also will there be any adverse affects or is there a reason why I shouldn't do this?

    Sure data will be transfered as well. But I recommend to backup database anyway before you will do this.
