Scott,

That's what I'm thinking. But where do I get the Russian character set for the client? I didn't see it on the Oracle 9 client zip file I downloaded from Oracle.

I guess I'll poke around an actual Oracle CD!

Thanks Scott.

Tom

Your client needs to support the character set as well. I doubt your installation of SQLPlus is in russian. One way we tested it was with the language packs of a web browser, etc.
