Summary: System.Data.OracleClient: special chars (german) mapped
as ? using mod_mono, apache2, oracle 9i/10g
Product: Mono: Class Libraries
Version: 1.2
Platform: x86
OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1
Status: NEW
Keywords: easy_fix, German
Severity: Major
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Sys.Data
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Found By: Development
Problem:
The issue is getting back "?" instead of "§ ß" when reading string data from
oracle database. also german chars "ä ö ü" will become "a o u" (or "?") when
using oracle connection by mono classes system.data.oracleclient.
Actual results: ?, a, u, o
Excpected results: ä (ae), ö (ue), ü (ue), ß (ss), § (paragraph) ...
Situation/reproduce:
The DB server is set up as NLS_CHARACTERSET: AL32UTF8 - what is recommended for
the german language support. On client side the configuration is setting the
client oracle parameter per user .profile, sysconfig for apache2 and setting
PassEnv in vhost.config for NLS parameters.
Reading or saving per system.data.oracleclient (oraclecommand ..) will cause
the actual result of "?" chars.
Additional:
* A similar bug was reportet before: #321993
* From what I know oracle replaces unknown chars to "?" while converting from
one charset to another.
* Same code runs on MS ASP.NET independent on the oralce client NLS settings.
These can be set to the same as the server or to german.
* Using mono 1.2.5.1
