When I connected I got:
"OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error -6550"
Oops! Maybe they have the wrong character set.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
So we stumbled upon the white paper...
WHY WE ARE MOVING OUR DATABASES TO THE UTF8 CHARACTER SET
By David F. Pennington, GlaxoSmithKline
This white paper raises a potential issue that DBAs might need to be aware
of. Basically, it has to do with certain characters not storing correctly
in the database because of different character sets being used between the
database, client and how the user enters data into the application.
Has this issue been raised on the list before?
Basically, were wondering how other DBAs/sites are handling/approaching
this
issue.
Many TIA!!
Chris
I believe the below link will get you to the white paper on the IOUG
website.
