Hi,

We would like to develop product which should be able to operate from diffrent parts of world.I.e. it should support diffrent languages like Japanes,Chinese i.e. multibyte caracter set.I thought of installing the Oracle with UTF8 as national charecter set. Reamrks, description comments etc fields especially shoudl support diffrent languages.If I select UTF8 as the national charecter set will i get any advantage for decalring a datatype in table like VARCAHR2 instead of NVARCAHR2,I mean will it go for multybyte storage for singel charectar

I went through soem links but I could not reach in a conclusion and regarding performance implication also.

Any suggetions will be appreciated.
