Hi Jeff,

I think it's based on what do you want to do with Oracle, if you use Oracle as storage only, you could use WE8ISO8859P1 for any languages. Just think about what do you need to store in your database - the code only. No matter what kind of character set, they are all the same, they're code. The interface makes them different. You need to set the environment variable: NLS_LANG on your client-site with the same character set as your database, otherwise, Oracle Net8 will try to convert character set for you.
