Note that it's perfectly fine to use UTF8 encoding and C collation (this has the effect of sorting strings in Unicode codepoint order); this is as fast for comparisons as LATIN1/C is. For those cases where you need data to be sorted in a culturally-meaningful order rather than in codepoint order, you can set collations on specific columns or in individual queries. -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad)
