Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Unicode penalty ?
I have some questions regarding unicode:
When would I set up an entire database with a unicode charset and when would I use a unicode national characterset ?
What is the space penalty for unicode. I would assume that for us7ascii characters there is no penalty at all, right ?
What is the performance penalty ?
What modifications are required on the client side ? We are using a Borland appserver, will that be a problem ? Will client software that used to work with - say - ISO8859 charactersets still work with unicode (provided only ISO8859 characters are stored in the database) ?
