Hi,

Its very interesting with some data. For example, the micro (u looking character), if stored in USASCII7, gets converted to a number 6 in UTF-8 (without conversion and across db_links). Therefore, 1 micro gram (USASCII7) becomes 16 grams (UTF-8). Much more fun than ?nre?d?ble st?ff.

Oracle's character set conversion utilities are a must.

Regards,

Mike Thomas
