Hope it's not too late to resurrect this thread. I have a related problem:
.NET against 8i databases. I've downloaded a white paper on unicode from
Oracle (sorry, don't have the reference to hand but I can get it and post it
if anyone is interested).
I admit to being hazy on the unicode issue, and I need to do some reading
up, but the problem seems to be that .NET (this is on Windows 2K I think)
uses UTF8, but the database (8.1.6) uses WE8ISO8859P9. More recently built
databases are 9.2.0.4 with WE8ISO8859P15, and according to the developers
this "works OK". With the former, when attempting to call a stored
procedure, Oracle throws a character set error (PLS-????). Again, sorry, the
error number is at the office and not here, but I will post it tomorrow.
Apologies for the incomplete posting; I'm hoping to state the outline here
and fill in the details tomorrow; please bear with me...
Thanks,
Paul
