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superseded a a few weeks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.

Mike.
