Hello,

Derby's character datatypes are represented internally as Java strings. 
That means that they are sequences of 2-byte unicode characters and are 
therefore multilingual. If you insert character data into a Derby column 
and select it later, you will retrieve from the database exactly what 
you put into it.

It is hard to say anything more without knowing what experiments are 
failing for you. We could probably give you some more advice if you 
could share more information about those experiments.

Thanks,
-Rick
