Hi I am trying to change the character set on my Oracle 9i server to zht16hkscs.

Below is a dump of the sql+ that I have tried.
Initial problems are with SYSTEM not having correct pivileges - should I be using system?

Then there is the problem with the character set not being a superset of the old character set.

-any ideas of how I can overcome these problems?

Cheers

Hugh

I would suggest connecting to your database using the following account

/ AS SYSDBA

This will give you the apportiate privliages for shuttng down the database.
