[Building Sakai] Something about the characterset of datab ase

[Matthew Jones]

I'm not sure you'll get a lot of (any) answers on this list.

1) The majority of installations for Sakai are MySQL
2) The ones few that are Oracle are UTF-8 from the start so haven't had
this issue

If it were me I'd also just figure out how to convert it to MySQL and use
that, if it was impossible to use a different type in Oracle. Otherwise it
seems like you'd be basically writing new special code for many parts of
Sakai to handle this.
