 ----Do you mean data stored as UTF-32, or source code in UTF-32, or translation files as UTF-32?

I mean for ALL, data stored, source code, and translation files.
For source code, I think then GCC must support UTF-32 before.

I sent an e-mail to Oracle to see what they tink about this huge idea.
Well, I know it's not efficient space wise, but this in the only way that we can deploye worldwide.
I think it must be add to the next version of the SQL languages.
