Unicode DB2 Performance

Hi guys,

I'm dealing with internationalization with DB2 here.
Performance-wise, is there any difference between using vargraphic and
varchar. Say for example, if I choose between using vargraphic(32)
and varchar(64) to support 2-byte foreign characters, is there any
significant performance difference in DB2. Please let me know.

Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge there is no difference.
Performance gets a really interesting topic once you start considering
advanced collations (such as Thai on DB2 LUW).

Cheers
