The database character set must support single byte entries in the
data dictionary, so AL32UTF8 is a good choice. The national character
set may be multi-byte so AL16UTF16 is allowed there. Normal data
types (char, varchar2, clob) use the database character set and
national data types (nchar, nvarchar2, nclob) use the national
character set. Usually you will want most of your data in the
database character set (and using 1 byte per character) with several
table columns using the national character set to save names,
addresses, etc.
