Hi Group,

I am starting a website for different european languages.
The site will have texts in all kind of languages.

My DB will be Postgres, the scriptinglanguage PHP (Doh).

I understand that giving different META-tags above the document will result
in correct display of the characters (eg Greek).

My problem is that I also have to store the characters in my DB, Postgresql.
Postgresql has a default characterset per DB.

I was wondering what is the best way to store characters.
Is it wise to make a stream of bytes first and store these in the DB (as
numbers).

Any advise?

TIA,

Erwin Moller
