Dear Marty, for characters outside the ASCII (or ISO 8859-1) character set, use an UNICODE database, with the types CHAR UNICODE, VARCHAR UNICODE. the getString(...) method on an ResultSet is the way to retrieve this data.
If you want to express that you want to store binary data, use CHAR BYTE. Here, use getBytes(...) on a result set to retrieve that data.
