I can see only one advantage for NCHAR - those fields that aren't NCHAR
will not use strcoll() for comparison.
But I cannot remember one filed in my database that does not contain
russian characters. Even my WWW logs contain them.
So in any case I am forced to make all my fields NCHAR, and this is
exactly what we have now - postgres compiled with --enable-locale makes all
char NCHAR.
