Multilingual option & character encoding

We are developing a PowerBuilder application against Oracle V7.0.16. The users of this application will be from various countries, such as Spain, Germany and the U.S. I am trying to get information about issues to look at with character encoding and data conversions between the server and the client. For instance:
- Are there things to watch out for when storing the data in the database in other than US7ASCII?
- What kind of performance hit might we experience if we store the data in US7ASCII and then the client is using WE8DEC, for example?
I would like to talk with anyone who might be actively using this option and various character sets. Please reply to me directly and I will summarize for the net.
Thanks in advance,
Anne
