Title: International Language Support Experiences?

we have been using utf8 char set for international support in the database .   -ak   ----- Original Message ----- From: David Wagoner To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:34 AM Subject: International Language Support Experiences? We have a new requirement to support multiple languages in at least one of our databases.  I'm reading the Oracle 9iR2 Globalization Support Guide (450 pages), but wonder if any of you can share real-life experiences regarding: 1.  the conversion of existing DBs to broader character sets 2.  using Unicode 3.  implementing this with 9iAS Our databases currently use US7ASCII with the American character set, but we will likely need to support European, Southeast Asian, and South American languages. Thanks. Best regards, David B. Wagoner Database Administrator Arsenal Digital Solutions
