Sandeep,
I think you need to change at following three places,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ORACLE\NLS_LANG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES\ID0\NLS_LANG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ORACLE\HOME0\NLS_LANG
Best of luck
Regards,
Kedar

hi...
i m thoroughly confused.
actually the registry entries for oracle shows 3 entries for NLS_LANG.
and that too at the WEB SERVER end and at the DATABASE SERVER end.
so that makes tooo many combinations...
can someone indicate which of these NLS_LANG entries have to be set as
"AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8" and if some of them doesnt need this...what exactly
should be there
pls suggest necessary messures..
regards,
Sandeep

Sandeep,
You probably need to change the NLS_LANG Oracle setting in the registry.
Look under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE for this setting and change the
character set part to UTF8.
Bob.

Sandeep,
I think you need to set the registry charset to UTF8 where database is
installed. We were was getting the same problem when we use to send UTF-8
strings to oracle database after conversion from Shift-JIS to UTF8. That
time also the byte sequence of the retrieved string is getting changed and
some of the bytes are getting replaced with BF.

Kedar

hi
actually i have been trying to use ASPs (UTF-8 encoding..) to write
unicode
cahracters to an Oracle DB table (varchar2 field)... and then retrieve
them
back..
(i used UTF-8 encoding for both writing to the database and also for
retriving and displaying..)
there were some amazing observations...
* each unicode character was taking 7 bytes in the database. (instead of
expected 2 or 3...)
* some unicode characters(or rather code points.) like' F95F' when encoded
in UTF-8 was being encoded as EF A5 BF, when it should have been encoded
as
EF A5 9F.. in fact many unicode charcters whose encoded form had to had a
byte in the range (80..9F) were being somehow changed to BF ... thus
resulting in incorrect retrieval
I was unable to find the reasons for these strange occurrences
Pls suggest what could be the causes for these..
regards,
Sandeep.
