Jan and Todd,
In Oracle8 and above this can be done provided you
want to convert the db to a strict superset of the
existing character set (e.g. US7ASCII to
WE8ISO8859P1). Otherwise the only supported option is
to recreate the db via export/import.
See the following metalink docs:
Note: 123670.1 "Use Scanner Utility before Altering
the Database Character Set"
Note: 66320.1 "V8: Changing the Database National
Character Set"
Note: 119164.1 "Changing Database Character set -
Valid Superset definitions"
HTH,
