As Allan has said... Do you homework before the switch... Both UTF8
and WE8ISO8859P1 are strict supersets of US7ASCII... You can directly
convert you database from US7ASCII to either of these charactersets...
However, if you convert to WE8ISO8859P1 and then later decide you
should have gone to UTF8 (or vice versa) then you have a migration on
your hands...
On the other hand, moving to UTF8 does have potential issues...
Variable length characters... Application support etc...
Good luck
Tim
