Hey Gene,
We use WE8ISO8859P1 (and since it's a superset of US7ASCII, the change =
is trivial), but you may want to look at WE8ISO8859P15 if you do any =
business with Europe, since P15 contains the Euro symbol. Not that =
you'll typically store it, but perhaps in comment columns and the like.
There are enough potential changes in moving to UTF8/16 to scare me away =
from it, and we didn't need to support any of the potential advantages =
of those anyway.
GL!
