Remember SQL is quite a powerful "language" and your query simply has to 
return the fields, nobody says that it only needs do a simple SELECT 
with no functions... If you can use SQL to replace() your magic 
characters (which don't need to be %H of course) then you can do this 
bit yourself?

Things like this can be useful in your migration perhaps?  Remember in 
any case that you don't need to move all users at once, eg when 
migrating between servers you can disable logins for a user, move the 
directory, update the DB, re-enable logins on a one by one basis?

Good luck
