Hi, all I posted an email about insert French characterset problem days ago. Here is what I got right now: The db is 817 running on Sun 5.6, and I use a sqlplus 815 running on NT4.0 to access the database.
If I do insert and select from sqlplus client, everything looks fine: SQL> insert into test values ('â'); 1 row created. SQL> select * from test; ID -------------------- â Then I logon using sqlplus on unix to do a select, and got: SQL> select * from test; ID -------------------- a I copied "insert into test values ('â');" into sqlplus in Unix, the statement became "insert into test values ('b');" It could be a Unix problem? But our Sybase DBA show me the exact same statement on Sybase running on the same Sun 5.6, the French character can be inserted/selected perfectly. Below is our characterset settings: PARAMETER VALUE ------------------------------ ---------------------- NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA NLS_CURRENCY $ NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ., NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-YY NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN NLS_SORT BINARY NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-YY HH.MI.SSXFF AM NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZH:TZM NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT DD-MON-YY HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZH:T NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY $ NLS_COMP NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8 I appreciate any suggestions.
