i am accessing an oracle database from redhat linux. oracle version 8.1.7
when i execute a query against the data that contains the swedish character
� i get a ? returned instead. i've run some test in perl and oracle. in
oracle the character mentioned is ascii 229. perl has no problem with the
character. it prints the correct character. but when i uses DBI to
connect to the database and retrieve the character it gets translated to
?.
i have active perl in my windows machine here also and it has no problem
with the characters.
the only place it can be occuring is within the bind_columns method.
i've tried updating to the latest DBI package but the problem still
persists. has anyone else seen this problem or knows what the solution is.
maybe i've missed updating some part.
any help would be appreciated.
