Hi,
I am using JDBC thin driver to retrieve Arabic data (VARCHAR column) to display it in a web page from a Oracle8i databse with Character set AR8MSWIN1256. The problem is the driver returns some junk data (inverted question marks) instead of the expected data. The CLASSPATH contains both classes12.zip and nls_charset12.zip (i am using jdk 1.3). The documentation says that these two zip files will take care of the nesessary character set conversions.
Am i missing anything here? Do i have to do anything else apart from this? Please help to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Suresh

Hi Mahesh,
Thanx for your reply. I am not aware of the logs/traces what u were mentioning. Can you please tell me where i can see this, and troubleshoot.
I was thinking that the driver is responsible for the charset conversion. I tried with OCI client also, but no success.
But, i am getting the proper data with sqlplus and Pro*C programs.
Regards,
Suresh
