Oracle 8.1.7 has the 'ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET ' statement, which allows to change the character set. Because you are switching from WE8ISO8859P1 to EE8ISO8859P2, in order to convert your data, you should however first export your data, change the character set of your database, empty the database and import the data again. I don't think that the 'alter database character set' will convert all your text to the new character set encoding scheme without export/import.
