RE: Which Character Set for 9.2

I too am planning to convert from US7ASCII to WE8ISO8859P1. I am moving the databases from HP boxes to Sun Solaris Systems. I am using Exp/Imp to migrate. Old DB has US7ASCII character set. New DB will be created in WE8ISO8859P1. I would like to know if the above character set conversion is required? Any help is appreciated.

I completely forgot about the "csscan" utility -- it should give you an = idea of how much work you're in for.

Of course, it's probably best to run this on a recent complete copy of = your DB, if possible...

Yeah, amen, etc. We took finaancials at 11.5.7 to utf-8 and we had a lot of data, principally from Russia, that had already been put into non-utf-8 compliant homebrew software. Boy was it fun to migrate that stuff!
