[OFBiz] Users - name on card for credit cards

[Brett Palmer]

Si,

Another solution might be to create a SQL script to migrate the data out 
of the old nameOnCard field and populate the new firstName, lastName, 
etc., fields that are now in the table.  There are really two possible 
solutions one is the change the code to support both conditions for the 
data and the other is to move the data to align correctly with the code. 

There are tradeoffs to either approach.  I personally like to keep the 
data clean and move the data when the code changes but this is one of 
the difficulties of upgrades.  Do you know if moving the data out of the 
nameOnCard field will affect other ofbiz components?
