I don't really get database systems. I remember this conversation with my professor who said we should use ASCII and not Unicode because we won't need anything beyond the ASCII characters (this was on an Oracle database). As an application developer, I don't know how I'd keep up with the right way to do things(TM) as rdbms keep evolving.
