We need to tranfer our database which has a current encoding of utf 8 to an iso 1 database server. As not to do any more cleaning of data I am thinking of converting varchar to univarchar. So in this way unicode encoding can be preserved in the iso 1 database server.
Aside from the size(1byte for varchar vs 2 for univarchar) what are the other tradeoffs that we might encounter?
BTW we will be using JTDS as our driver.
