Hello. In general, You can never be sure that (some time in future) you won't need to store different national characters. For example some non-english surname or whatever. So, If you can easily decide it now, use UTF. It's painless choice now and it can come handy in future.

Hi All, What character sets would you recommend for a server in the US and all data stays within the English language. Currently everything is set to latin1 with latin1_swedich_ci collation which seems to be the closets one to what I need from what I have read, I was just wondering if there is a better option (e.g. What about UTF or Unicode) Thanks Olaf -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
