Hey all,

Similar to the charsets conversation, we were also talking about
collations. Currently, of course, we do these per-column, with defaults
available per table and per schema. How useful is this really? What are
people doing who are supporting multi-languages in their systems. Are
they _actually_ storing the multi-language data in different columns
with different collations?

Never seen this ever.  Typically, I see a default charset and collation
for either a schema (most common) and sometimes for a table.  Never
different collations per column.

If the code is there already, is there a reason to toss it? It provides some flexibility, the code should be fairly clean (ie no maintenance issue), and there is certainly no performance impact.

No strong feelings about this though...
