Looking for a Unicode-capable client-server relational database and a
Unicode-capable development package for creating GUI client programs.
whose users would store/retrieve/edit data presented partly in  Chinese
orJapanese characters.

The client seats would be MS Windows 95 or NT 4;
would prefer to run the RDB on a Solaris box, but flexible on this.

BTW, the user interface -- that is, the prompts and error messages, etc. --
should preferably be in English, rather than in any other language.
It's just the _data_ that we want to be in non-English languages.

Am already aware of Oracle, Interbase, Zinc.  Wondering what other
products are also available.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

We are building a full UCS-2 compliant application in Illustra on NT. We are
rolling our own GUI with MFC/VC++. Double byte in - double byte out.

The new Informix Universal Server is going to handle Unicode with UTF-8 encoding.
This will force us to retool our ap somewhat. We have no firm plans to migrate
just yet!
