Hello all,
We're running Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7.2 on a Solaris 2.8 server platform. The development team for a particular project has written a stored procedure for sending data feeds to other projects. It spools outputs of queries to UTL_FILE_DIR, and then other processes E-mail the output files to vearious recipients. This database has international users. The NLS_LANG setting is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. Up until now all of the output files have looked fine, but recently an end-user in Mexico has inputted an address that looks in part like this: México It should look like "Mexico" with an accent above it ... The recipients of this particular spool file are complaining that this output is "wrong", which I guess it is, from their perspective. Does anyone have any suggestions on a setting or process that could "correct" this, or somehow "filter" the output, or a workaround? I wish that the recipients could connect to the database directly, query the data they need and pull it into their own database, but that isn't how things are structured with this client. Any suggestions would be welcome.
