I suppose there are a few things that I could try out, but I'm not
comfortable about tinkering with the database server too much if it's
not mandatory; typo3 is not the only database.
I think that the following web page might answer my question, assuming
that it's current. I'm still not entirely comfortable; we will be
hosting some Japanese content, and I'd like to know that I'm making the
right choices.
