Hi,
We are trying to extract the data from the oracle database 8.1.7. which contains special characters like umlaut.
The Characterset of Oracle db is UTF8 and the Character set at Client side is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. While we spool the data from the Oracle db an extra space (byte) is added if umlaut character exists.
For example : 'MÜNCHEN' - If we query the size it shows 7 bytes but while spooling to a flat file it takes 8 bytes. This problem exists only when the umlaut character and normal character exists like the above eg. If data contains only umlaut then we dont get this problem. Any info on this would be of great help.
regards,
Karthik
