hello,


I want to correctly sort English, Hebrew, Russian ...

What is the best encoding for this ? ( utf-8 ? )


In the IRC i been told that utf-8 is not the solution and actually there
is no solution to correctly sort many languages.


Is that true ? Will it matter if each language will be in different table ?



Back in the 7.0.x days i created a cluster with Hebrew encoding, and now
I cant dump/restore it to a C / utf-8 / other iso Cluster.

Is there a way around it ?


Thanks
