[Archon-L] SQL Server

[Chris Prom]

We are putting together the 2.0 release, and are wondering if 
anyone is using Archon with a Microsoft SQL Server database.  If 
so, please let me know which version of SQLServer you are using.

This is an issue because we are trying to make Archon unicode 
compliant, but want to ensure that we don't break any existing 
archon implementations if you upgrade when the release comes out. 
Some early version of SQLServer do not support unicode, inluding 
the version we used here until last week (7.0).

This should not affect mysql databases, since the update script 
will automatically change any non-unicode fields and data to 
unicode format--this function is built into mysql.

Thanks,

Chris
