Hi all! Today it seems easier and simpler for me to create all character fields encoded in UTF8.
Is there something against doing this? I asked some days ago about index sizes in this post (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/119234), and it seems UTF8 can generate indices keys up to 4X larger than a usual key. As the majority of characters stored in these fields are below code 127 in ASCII table, with some rare accents and special symbols, i would like to know if using UTF8 should increase too much my database or affect its performance.
