sorry, no, that's not going slide to on by. mysql *just* got unicode. having a plethora of encodings is not a good thing for real i18n work. you always want unicode to simplify things & mysql was, until the latest version, kind of joke for that kind of complex i18n work. sql server has been able to do unicode & has been able to use any collation it knows about since 7 (you can cast to a collation via the COLLATE clause). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:208087 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
