I have a quick question regarding character sets.
Our application is written in .Net C# which means it is running in
Windows. The Windows kernel uses the UCS-2 encoding which would
imply that my national character set in Oracle (11g) should be
AL16UTF16 and not UTF8. I know that from what I read that if the
national character set was set to UTF-8 and I passed in UTF-16 from
the application that no data loss would occur but that additional
overhead would be incurred.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
