Software upgrade from D5 to D2010 with Unicode

[Thomas Reppel]

Hello,
I have an important application, built under D5 with DOA components. I am using Oracle 9 database with character set WE8ISO8859P1.
I have to upgrade it to D2010 with UNICODE and would like to know, if it is the best way to use AL32UTF8 as database character set ? As far as I know supports D2010 UTF-16. So I wonder if AL32UTF8 is the best choice ?
Thanks for your help !

It depends on your application. If it just needs to store West European text, the WE8ISO8859P1 character set will do just fine. If you expect that you might need to store text for other languages, AL32UTF8 is a good choice for the character set of the database.

Ok, I will try AL32UTF8.
Thanks for your help !
