Re: Find special characters in the database

First off, do you have Perl and DBD::Oracle or Java?

Those would be the preferred methods to do something like this, in this order. PL/SQL sould be a distant third place as it is not very fast for this kind of wholesale string operation.

PL/SQL may be a good choice though, if your requirements for changing special characters are not too extensive. i.e. you only have a small set of characters that need to be changed.
