We are using UTF8 in the database (database stored mix of Eastern and
Western European languages), WE8MSWIN1252 - for Western European
clients, and EE8MSWIN1250 - for Eastern European clients (yeah, it's Win
clients).
Works fine for us.

This is actually an interesting problem.  Coming from a background
of "`,',and ç" stuff myself, these things are somewhat relevant.
Does anyone know of a reference on which characters and native
languages are best supported by each of the WE8* and US7* settings
and their relationships to the client?

Actually, this conundrum is all down to different character sets (
WE8ISO8859P1, and US7ASCII ) being established on different instances.
Oh
Really... Just something to watch out for.
