Hello,

We had some troubles with special chars in Oracle. Now we have solved it, but the old data needs to be transformed. For example : the square char was saved as ², the ë char was ö.
We made a conversion routine using the replace method and it works great. The only problem are the capitals.
For example 'Belgiö' becomes 'belgië'.
Question: How can I use replace without changing the capital of a word.

Thanks

How can it change if you don't code it to change?

select ascii('B'), ascii('b'), ascii('ë'), ascii('ö') from dual;

select 'Belgiö',
replace('Belgiö', chr(101), chr(111)),
replace('Belgiö', 'ë', 'ö') from dual;
