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
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
Look at
1. Note 139654.1 Oracle Applications Release 11i with UTF8 FAQ
2. Note 124721.1 Migrating an Application Installation to a new
character-set [UTF8]
3. Note 134375.1 Using UTF8 Character Set with Applications Release 11i
Even if you are not running Oracle Apps, I suggest you read
When I connected I got:
OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error -6550
Oops! Maybe they have the wrong character set.
