SELECT chr(128) euro, chr(36) dollar, chr(163) gbp, chr(1200) yen
FROM dual;

I guess it depends on your character set; EUR, USD and GBP work for me, but can't display YEN (it is CHR(4B0/hex) or 1200/dec).

I think You need not the messup with DBA level to set the charector set.

Why don't you try concat or some fixedcode lookup table.use decode or joining, to get the desired result.


Fixedcode look table mean you create two or three coloum and put the mapping values,

Let me try to show your required details by simple concat.

SQL> spool Sri
SQL> select
'$'||1200 USD,
'£'||1200 GBP,
'¤'||1200 Euro,
'¥'||1300 Yen from dual
/

SD GBP EURO YEN
---- ------ ------- ------
1200 £1200 ¤1200 ¥1300

SQL> spool off
SQL> host

*** In the SQL Window you may not see EURO (¤) Symbol but don't
worry when you copy paste or open it in notepad or any pad you will get your desire value.
