As far as I can tell the whole reason for introducing NCHAR is to support SHIFT-JIS, there hasn't been call for any other encodings, that I can remember anyway.
Could you elaborate on this, giving some info sources?
So rather than this whole NCHAR thing, why not just add a type "sjistext", and a few type casts and call it a day...
The main reason for supporting NCHAR types is to ease migration from other DBMSs, not requiring DDL changes. So sjistext does not match that purpose.
