Sorry I can't help you with MySQL specifics, as I much prefer PostgreSQL, and so I haven't touched MySQL in years. But I wanted to comment on one thing:

Dealing with Unicode makes your life more complicated, so it's easy to see why you'd want to get rid of it. But that would be a mistake, IMHO. Unicode is not going to go away, no matter how much you might want it to, so the best thing is to just learn about it. If you haven't yet read http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html, read it -- it's the best "The basics of Unicode and why you should care" article I've found. Oh, and UTF-8 seems to be turning into the de facto standard in just about every good piece of software I've used recently. For you, I would suggest using UTF-8 as well, unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise. It will probably make your life easier. I hope this helps, even if it's not what you really wanted to hear. :-) -- Robin Munn [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key 0xD6497014
