Re: [firebird-support] Giving up UTF8 ISO8859_1 and WINPTBR are very similar in terms of symbols. Also, afair, 8859 uses full dictionary sort. For portuguese, I always use win1252 with no problems at all.

If you can read portuguese, take a look at this article:

Hello all

Because of CORE-5940 and CORE-5947 I can't use anymore the collation unicode_ci_ai, the greatest problems that I have is with the foreign keys, they are unusable with multiple varchar fields.

I'm thinking of using WIN1252 with the collation WIN_PTBR but here is also ISO8859_1 with the collation PT_BR, I asking your advice to choose the better supported one.

Thank you

Luis Forra
