Oracle is very strict in this respect. Database character set once chosen can not be changed. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 4:13 PM Subject: Strange problem with charactersets 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. Volker Schoen E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.inplan.de
