Malini, There is no difference between Oracle on NT and Oracle on Solaris as far as database character encoding support is concerned. It would be interesting to know more about your scenario such as where the string manipulation functions are being called etc.
For more information take a look at the "Building Multilingual.." paper on the following site: http://otn.oracle.com/tech/globalization/content.html Regards, Peter On Wed, 29 May 2002, Amruthavakkula, Malini (CORP,Consultant) wrote: > Hi All, > > > we are in the process of launching a website in Japanese.
