Hi Rajat (and Addison), Thanks for the corrected link. It is indeed interesting, though I'm not involved in "Creating Multi-Lingual and Multi-Locale Databases" myself, but in working on the SQL standard (ISO/IEC 9075) and, in particular, its support for UCS/Unicode.
It may be a little while before the feature SQL feature "UCS support" is widely available in SQL implementations, but it would be useful to know whether the SQL draft in its present form is considered appropriate by users.The current draft is at: ftp://sqlstandards.org/SC32/WG3/Progression_Documents/Informal_working_draft s/5wd-02-foundation-2002-03.pdf though I have to point out that it's 3.4 Mbytes. Moreover it will be superseded a a few weeks Nevertheless, review would be welcome, and, if any amplification and explanation is required, I shall be happy to assist.
