Reply to use of varchar MySQL versus nvarchar MS SQL
Posted by Pugi! on 11/23/06 19:30
A nvarchar is a varchar (only ascii) for unicode text on MS SQL-server.
How do you use varchar on mysql for unicode ?
If you use a varchar(100) will the maximum number of characters be
independent of the characterset (latin, japanese, chinese, ...) or will
a japanese or chinese characterset will not be able to store 100
characters ?
