Just pointing out that the "200 entries" are in the JIS X 0213 part of
kanjidic2.xml, i.e. the "new" kanji that joined Unicode from JIS X 0213. 
There is no 4-byte utf-8 problem with either the JMdict/EDICT content or 
the JMNedict/ENAMDICT content, although it it is possible that some odd 
JIS213 kanji might get into the latter file at some stage.

I would not suggest letting the "4-byte utf-8 problem" drive the choice of
RDBMS.
