Re: JDBC - varchar or nvarchar fields?

The application is multilingual and I've set the collation of SQL Server to
latin1
I'm tempted to use nvarchar (because jtds driver seems to send strings as
unicode), but I don't know:
1) How this will impact on performances of the application.
2) If I have to use a different sintax on my queries (for example using
N'xxxxxx' instead of 'xxxxxxx' for strings)
3) Any other issues on using nvarchar

Thanks,
Davide.
