Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: sql loader control file help - solved
Rachel,
The Unix server generally looks for the character set AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 unless you specify it explicitly otherwise by setting the environmental
variable
before the installation commences.

Ron,
You were dead on correct (send me your snail mail address offlist and I'll send you a signed copy of Oracle9i DBA 101)
Anjo, you were right too but you already have, or should be getting, a copy of the book. I'll buy you a beer at the next conference :)
Very strange. I was loading ON the server itself, not from my client. Database is 9.2, my client on my PC is 8.1.7. The load worked from my PC but not from the server. The pertinent default NLS parameters, from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS, when I do NOT set NLS_LANG are
PARAMETER VALUE ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16 NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 9.2.0.1.0
which looks right but the load doesn't work. When I set the Unix environment variable NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1, the load works properly. Anyone want to explain THAT to me?
and the docs are, as usual, clear as mud. I figured it out with the hints from Ron and Anjo and testing inserts from my PC and the server directly.
Hope this helps some other poor soul in the future!
Rachel
