Ooh...that's much better than my current example. I've been using a name from our database - "Mu=F1oz" (the '=F1' character here is an 'n' with a tilde '~'). This name becomes "Muqoz" after a character set conversion from US7ASCII to WE8ISO8859P1.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi,

Its very interesting with some data. For example,=20 the micro (u looking character), if stored in USASCII7, gets converted to a number 6 in UTF-8 (without conversion and across db_links). Therefore,=20 1 micro gram (USASCII7) becomes 16 grams (UTF-8).=20 Much more fun than ?nre?d?ble st?ff.

Oracle's character set conversion utilities are a=20 must.

Regards,

Mike Thomas
