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