Hi,
we only store German characters within the database.
Are there good reasons for using characterset WIN1252 anymore?
Are there any drawbacks with unicode? (Performance, memory consumption,
...).
Is there a way to switch from WIN1252 to Unicode without creating a new
database and copy the data?
Regards,
Josef
