I'd like to know about these pains also, as we are using UTF8 on all our AIX 4.3.3,
8.1.7.0 e-commerce databases w/o any major problems; all of which were converted
from WE8ISO8859P1. The only problem we've really encountered thus far is a
compatibility issue with the 3rd-party AUTOSYS scheduling tool, which apparently
cannot have it's repository reside in a UTF8 database.
Thanks,
Jeff T.

Ron,
Can you elaborate on the "pains" you are having getting UTF8 working
correctly?
We are preparing to convert some databases to UTF8. I'd appreciate any
specific details that you can provide.
We are using 8.1.7.2 and 9.0.1 on Sun Solaris 2.6.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Unless you have the need to support other languages other than English or
need to support characters
like the Euro, don't bother. You would not believe the pains we are having
here trying to get UTF8
working correctly... WE8ISO8859P1 or P15 might be a choice for you. See
what other listers have to
say.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
I have always used US7ASCII character set. I am creating a new server and
database for an existing production application and I was wondering if I
should be using one of the newer character sets. Is there a newer
character
set that would still work with the old application data?
