I didn't see anything which explicitly confirmed this in a couple google searches on this group, so...
I observe that when I set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 that while I retrieve the correct bytes from the database, the utf8 flag is not set. Is this correct or am I possibly not setting up my connection correctly. I'm using Oracle, if it matters at all, and versions of everything from about 2 months ago, so maybe there are newer versions that fix this? Thanks, Kevin (P.S. I posted this once through google, but they don't think this groups is moderated, and apparently that kept it from going out the first time. I think. Apologies to anyone who sees this twice)
