| | Unicode table : 618,798,592 bytes | |
| | For those in the know, does this mean that wherever I create Character based columns in Unicode, we'll have to accept a vast increase in
actual Perm space used ? | |
Yes, always. Internal format for Unicode is always 2 byte per char. You probably confuse it with UTF8, which is more economical, but UTF8 is
only supported on the client side. Once the Unicode data is in the database it is converted to the 2-byte format.
