Hi,
I'm running a web site using Oracle database 7.3.2, and webserver 2.1 (ancient - I know) running on an SGI Irix platform. The site needs to support characters in the European
languages, eg "ó", with an ascii value over dec. 128.

The actual database stores these characters properly, and any database queries in sql plus display the characters correctly. Also, static html pages display correctly. However, if the characters are displayed on a web page using a pl/sql procedure, then any characters over an ascii value of dec. 128 are displayed incorrectly. Eg. "ó" becomes "s". I have tried creating a DCD with different character sets, but none seem to have any effect.

Any suggestions? Thanks. Received on Thu Nov 18 1999 - 16:00:28 CST
