Hi folks, since a 3rd-party application vendor came in to upgrade their app., and also to upgrade the version of Oracle from 7.3.4 to 8i, I've noticed the following messages whenever I export or import tables on the database:
On EXPORT: Connected to: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production With the Partitioning option JServer Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production Export done in US7ASCII character set and WE8ISO8859P1 NCHAR character set server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion) On IMPORT: Connected to: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production With the Partitioning option JServer Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production Export file created by EXPORT:V08.01.07 via conventional path import done in US7ASCII character set and WE8ISO8859P1 NCHAR character set import server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion) So what I'd like to know is whether these messages about possible charset conversion are anything to worry about? If not, then are there any performance issues arising from these charset conversions? I ask because the imports seem to run really slowly compared with imports on some of our other servers, and if character sets are being converted for every imported row, I guess that might account for it! So are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of here? Thanks - hope somebody can offer some insights!
