RE: Changing the character set of a database

[Hately Mike]

Niamath, Metalink has a technical note (119164.1) which shows which character sets are valid for  the ALTER DATABSE CHARACTER SET command. This indicates that you won't be able to change the character set.   Regards, Mike Hately, Oracle DBA    -----Original Message----- From: Niamath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 July 2002 11:08 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Changing the character set of a database Hi ,   We presently have a database with "EE8ISO8859P2" character set . Can I change it to the US7ASCII char set?  Learnt from the documentation that if the current character set is a subset of the character set you want to change to , Oracle does allow that. But the question is whether US7ASCII is a subset of "EE8ISO8859P2"   TIA..   Regards Niamath ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ This email and any attached to it are confidential and intended only for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
