Alan, Unfortunately UTF-8 and UTF-16 is in fact different in their binary representations and hence you will have to perform a full fledged conversion to map the UTF-16 characters to their UTF-8 binary representation. You can use the dump() SQL function to see this for yourself if you have

Has anyone run into any problems with this combination? The MetaLink note # 45997.1 says it should work fine, but it would be nice to hear from someone that has implemented 9iR2 on NT. Why NT? I need to put an app on a server that already has licensing for backup software etc. Beats spending

Not sure I get it either. :) The command listed on the 10g site that I referred to is this: alter tablespace ts_user rename to ts_user_01; Renaming a tablespace is apparently possible with 10g. Must be a joke here somewhere I'm missing. Jared On Mon, 2003-11-03 at 20:09, Yong Huang

How can *you* not get it? Gopal says in Oracle 9.2, 'alter tablespace rename' is possible. Of course. The full syntax is alter tablespace mytablespace rename datafile '/path/file.dbf' to '/path/newfile.dbf'. You see the three words 'alter', 'tablespace' and 'rename' in there? You'll get it in the
