Ok, so to get a better feel for what's going on, is everyone still using US7ASCII?? Have sites started switching over to UTF8?? Have there been any conversion problems?? Do the websites(like Amazon, Yahoo, BN, etc) that have an Oracle backend enforce UTF8 as a standard, so that they can store any type of character that a user enters??? -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 4:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L So we stumbled upon the white paper...

RE: US7ASCII, UTF8, characters sets, conversions.....agghhhhHH!!!
Chris, We have started using UTF8 on our new databases as a standard. All of our old, existing databases use US7ASCII. We need to convert a couple of existing databases such as our 200Gig data warehouse from US7ASCII to UTF8. I am concerned about conversion problems. I asked a few weeks ago if anyone had successfully converted from US7ASCII to UTF8 but got no response. I've searched on Metalink for the topic and didn't find much. If you get any responses, could you forward them on to me or post to the list.
