Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Which Character set?
Ron,
Can you elaborate on the "pains" you are having getting UTF8 working correctly?
We are preparing to convert some databases to UTF8. I'd appreciate any specific details that you can provide.
We are using 8.1.7.2 and 9.0.1 on Sun Solaris 2.6.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Unless you have the need to support other languages other than English or
need to support characters
like the Euro, don't bother. You would not believe the pains we are having
here trying to get UTF8
working correctly... WE8ISO8859P1 or P15 might be a choice for you. See
what other listers have to
say.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
I have always used US7ASCII character set. I am creating a new server and
database for an existing production application and I was wondering if I
should be using one of the newer character sets. Is there a newer
character
set that would still work with the old application data?
