"N" datatypes are bad? news to me & sql server i18n developers, so lets call that nonsense. mySQL? doesn't handle unicode yet (i think). the big iron (sql server, oracle, postgreSQL, etc.) dbs have better i18n functionality than mysql. i'd experiment w/mysql plenty first. you should get a good set of test text data from your clients. there's a modest FAQ on CJK here: http://www.unicode.org/faq/han_cjk.html don't forget about dates, numeric, currency formatting as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Host with the leader in ColdFusion hosting.
