Need to be able to display Polish special characters - z l s e z etc - I'm told that Proper display of such characters requires UTF-8 encoding.

Where or how do I get a list of what the availbale Database collations are ?

You need to use unicode data types such as nchar, nvarchar, ntext. It doubles your storage requirements.
