UTF8 conversion

[former_SQLA_member1694886]

Is there any way to convert some column from iso to utf8?

Something like... SELECT Id, UTF8(Name FROM table;

I need because JSON issue, i need to convert it in PHP using utf8 funcions... I'd like to receive the data already converted.

Did you try CSCONVERT?

Also consider casting the column to NCHAR using TO_NCHAR( col ) or CAST( col as NCHAR ). You can also then manipulate the string as UTF8 within the database server itself as needed. I'm expecting (though I haven't tried it) that JSON will do "the right thing" with NCHAR values.
