From this point of view, I don't think DB2 supports them as I checked its latest documentation on line that it only supports USC-2 with UTF-8 up to three-byte encoding. Checking with other vendors implementation, Microsoft only supports UTF-16 and Sybase supports UTF-16 but only UTF-8 up to three-byte encoding, I come up with my claim. I have not done fully study with other database vendors, but I welcome anyone to challenge me on this. > > Shouldn't a war about UTF-8 be discussed on Unicore? > It should not be a war but rather a technical discussion. But as some people on this list took a wrong position to make personal or company attack, I and Oracle have to defend for it. Regards, Jianping. > > Lisa
