The customer is in Holland, uses the Dutch language only.
Just curious; what's the difference between AMERICA and
AMERICAN_AMERICA?
And, is the country setting really important or even interesting while
using the charset AL32UTF8?

Very interesting discussions in your links. It seems clear that
AL32UTF8 is the preferred choice.
I'll read the white paper this weekend.

Yes, you surely helped. Thanks!
To ALL: In the production environment (Oracle database server on Unix, webserver on win2003 / IIS) the environment setting NLS_LANG needed to be fixed. It now works well. For my dev workstation we did not find an explanation yet why it first worked well, then not any more and later mysteriously properly.
Kind regards,
Nico
