Hi ,

I had to enhance my application's DB to support unicode data entries(Multilingual data entries) and retrieval. I want to know the basic difference between the following data type decalrations:

nvarchar2( 10) and varchar2( 10 char)

Can any one suggest me which would be a optimum choice?

regards,
Siddarth
