Subject RES: [firebird-support] Should i use UTF8 for all character fields in my database?
Author Fabiano
Firebird is extreme slow with UTF-8 character set.

Try it:
Create the same table with/without UTF-8 encoding, put 5000 records with no
indexes then do:

'select * from table order by fieldA

select * from table where FieldA='xxxx'



Cheers
