I have a oracle 9i server running on solaris, and I need to change the



NLS_CHARACTERSET     UTF8



to WE8ISO8859P1



and I get this error message



SQL> alter database character set WE8ISO8859P1;
alter database character set WE8ISO8859P1
*


ERROR at line 1:


ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set



Does any one know how I can by pass this problem? I have done it for
8x but this is 9i and the docus are not very clear





Thanks 


Teresa
