Swedish and Spanish. Earlier the dev OS did not have these language packs, after installing them and matching the .profile and ar.conf settings they are not showing up. Ankur

A lot of European countries have variations, for example French, German and Spanish all have some (different) characters. Even countries that are close to each other, like for example Denmark and Sweden, have slightly different character sets.

I have checked the archives but it all got very confusing so I am asking it once again. The production environment supports European character set. I ran this query SELECT value$ FROM sys.props$ WHERE name = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET' in the production and got the result as WE8ISO8859P1. When I ran the same query in the dev environment I got the same result but dev environment changes all the European characters to "?". There is no DB charset entry in ar.conf file. AR Server : 7.0.1 Database:Oracle9i What am I missing?
