Subject Help: Database Design - Unicode
Author jwcanada <jwcanada@yahoo.com>
I use Firebird/IB to an web application to store client contacts. As
people are from arround the world, contact information might be
different languages - English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian ...

As we don't know what languages the users are using/inputting on the
web form, The questions are:

1. Is it the best way to create database in UNICODE_FSS?

2. Our current database charset is NONE, how to convert the whole
database into UNICODE_FSS?

3. How does your web application application handle International
characters?

We uses Delphi dbExpress as well as JAYBIRD JDBC in our web
application. Any special settings we need to pay attention in such
application?

Your insights and help would be greatly appreciated.
