Hi list,
I have a strange problem with charctersets, character display.
I have a oracle 8.0.5 on HPUX, database characterset is WE8ISO8859P1. On clients we have NT 4.0 with Oracle 8.1.5 client. Everything is fine. Now I've installed a Windows 2000 PC with Oracle 8.1.7 client and here a the strange behaviours.
Oracle 8.1.7 client shows instead of ���� (german special characters) oau?. I've never seen this. Normally the special characters would be shown as unreadable signs. On client we tried these different NLS settings, but nothing works:
NLS_LANG=GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_LANG=GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8ISO8859P15
NLS_LANG=GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15
Windows 2000 territory settings are all to german.
All infos are welcome.
