Title: NLS questions







Hi everybody,


Ive been asked to incorporate the data from our remote sites in France, Portugal, Switzerland and Sweden into our existing data warehouse in the UK. I expect I'll have characterset and currency issues to deal with, but I've done very little with NLS. Are there other things I should be thinking about ahead of time? Can I or should I even attempt to put all of the data into 1 database and handle the NLS settings on the client, or should I keep it in separate databases?

I appreciate your comments,


Beth

Oracle*Net will handle all the data conversions for 
you. You don't have much to worry about.

Title: NLS questions





Hi list,


I have some questions about NLS Parameters.


I have a database created with following NLS parameters:


NLS_LANGUAGE POLISH
NLS_TERRITORY POLAND
NLS_CHARACTERSET EEISO8859P2 


My Client (Windows 2000, Polish) uses following NLS_LANG parameter
NLS_LANG=POLISH_POLAND.EEMSWIN1250


With this characterset everything works fine, but if I switch to POLISH_POLAND.EEISO8859P2 the characters are shown incorrect. Why can't I use the same characterset on client as on database. This is important, because I have to implement a terminal server which goes to different oracle databases with different charactersets (WEISO8859P1, EEISO8859P2...). My idea was not to set NLS_LANG on terminal server, so that oracle takes default values from server/database (NLS_LANGUAGE, NLS_TERRITORY and NLS_CHARACTERSET).

Any ideas?


regards
