Hi Gleb,
i finally found out a method to be entirely independent from any
character-set as well as collation-sequence problem, when forming a
UNION, where you occasionnally have to insert place-holders in one of
the SELECT statements:
as (text, varchar, char) placeholders use NULL instead of "" or '' if
your application permits it.
thanks for your suggestion an help.
