There is also a problem with 8.0.5 Client software not being "happy" with the ISO8859 part 15 characterset. The symptoms are that of either not displaying certain characters or displaying spurious chars (whatever is in the given code page for the given value from the database...)
The only thing that is gained in Part 15 from that of Part1 is the Euro symbol.

You would not believe the pains we are having here trying to get UTF8 working correctly... WE8ISO8859P1 or P15 might be a choice for you. See what other listers have to say.

Subject: Which Character set? com 01/16/02 08:56 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L I have always used US7ASCII character set. I am creating a new server and database for an existing production application and I was wondering if I should be using one of the newer character sets. Is there a newer character set that would still work with the old application data? Ron Smith -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Smith, Ron L.
