Changing the character set of a database

2002-07-29 Thread Niamath



Hi ,

We presently have a database with "EE8ISO8859P2" 
character set . Can I change it to the US7ASCII char set?
Learnt from the documentation that if the 
current character set is a subset of the character set you want to change to , 
Oracle does allow that. But the question is whether US7ASCII is a subset of 
"EE8ISO8859P2"

TIA..

Regards
Niamath

Niamath,
Metalink has a technical note (119164.1) which shows which character sets 
are valid for the ALTER DATABSE CHARACTER SET 
command.
This 
indicates that you won't be able to change the character 
set.

Regards,
Mike
