Am I the only person in the world who didn't know what happens if you use VARCHAR's with Java and the MS SQL JDBC driver? It seems unlikely because I can find no mention of this in the list archives or the like.
It's not just the MS SQL JDBC Driver... we use the Inet Software one, and they have a similar JDBC URL configuration option.
Yes, it does suck, but I'm not sure how other databases are addressing this need for unicode support. Maybe these JDBC drivers should be expecting ascii as the default instead of unicode first.
