If you are using only english and have no need to make your database
language specific, then you can just set NONE to charset. Only where you are
using encrypted field content might you need Unicode charset.
default soure os the defuilat value you want to set a column e.g. 'NOW' or 0
for an integer field etc.
Computed source refers to columns you are setting up as a clculated column
dependent on other columns' contents.
