Fellow DBA's



Got a question for you, I have a client who is looking to change their database
character set from US7ASCII to <something> to support the following languages:
American English, German, French and Spanish.  I was going to suggest to them
to use WE8ISO8859P1 as a database character set, but was inclined to suggest
going ahead with UTF-8.  I have used UTF-8 on one database, and so far no
problems, but wanted to know if anyone has any horror stories or anything to
make me feel better about going either way.  Any suggestions would be
appreciated...



Thanks in Advance...


Tom Tyson
