Hi Roland,
Your choices mainly consist of ISO-8859-2 and WIN1250.
The collations for ISO-8859-2 are in theory more advanced,
following the full UNICODE collation model whereas the
collations of WIN1250 are meant to be compatible to
old Paradox DB.
In practice 1) you must decide your own, which better
matches your needs and 2) unless someone has a collation
hidden in dark corners, only Czech collation is ready
for ISO-8859-2, whereas WIN1250 has not Croation but
Slovensko (PXW_SLOV), which may or may not be the right one.
