Tino,
Thanks for the information.
I already have a database with SQL_ASCII encoding.
Is there any way that I can change the encoding to UNICODE.
Regards,
Kallol.

Although you could define your own type, you can
use the database with UNICODE encoding (during
creation) then all text/char fields are utf8
This works pretty well for all languages.
Hoever there are also different encodings available,
I dont know how it is with chinese or such. But probably
its mapped internally to utf8 anyway.
