I am in the process of developing an Oracle 8 database on an HP UNIX server. I would like to store text in the database in multiple languages which include, but is not limited to, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, Spanish and of course American English. My question(s) is this: Is there a single NLS Characterset value that I can use that will accommodate all these languages characters and accent marks? If so, what is the setting? If not, how many database instances must I create to accommodate all and what settings will accommodate what language?
