Hi, all. I am getting some questions from Ken Frank NetBeans internationalization quality team about Java DB and character set encodings. Rather than try and play go-between, I'm including him here so he can directly ask any follow-on questions.
Ken would like to understand how Derby makes use of character encodings, and how it is affected by various settings. How does Derby handle things if the encoding is set to something different from our default of UTF-8? Are we impacted, or do we rely on Java routines such as the Collator and Comparator class to handle this? Sorry if I'm talking out my ear, i18n is not one of my fortes. Thanks, David
