It has to have a number >= 29 in the end.   During first installation of your database, set _UNICODE=YES  (the default is NO there).   For the column you want to store polish character in, use        CHAR (<integer>) UNICODE                 resp. VARCHAR (<integer>) UNICODE   If you want to have the code_spec UNICODE for ALL character columns   in your new database, then during your installation of the database you should set DEFAULT_CODE=UNICODE               (ASCII is the default for this). DEFAULT_CODE can be changed afterwards, but _UNICODE cannot be changed.   Elke SAP Labs Berlin
