Dear List,

Life was pretty easy here before they came up with
this euro symbol :-( We had WE8ISO8859P1 (the default
I bevieve) as a char set on all Unix and MS (sorry we
have those as well) DBs accross the board.
That was also the client side char set (part of
NLS_LANG) - most clients here are on MS (code page
1252), some browser based.

Well, with euro it looks like they went different
directions:
- On MS: it's recommended to have WE8MSWIN1252 (super
set of good old WE8ISO8859P1)
- On Unix: it's WE8ISO8859P15

My question is:
        1. if I want to stick with one char set accross the
board (as we have now) for all DBs on Unix and MS  AND
        2. avoid (automatic, but not free) conversion on
DB-Client Net communication AND
        3. we need euro symbol

is there a painless solution out there? 

Thanks,
Boris Dali
