Hi,


   What about CHAR_SET, NLS issues? We have a database with CHAR_SET or
NLS_LANG set to US7-ASCII... however, there are 8-bit characters stored
in the database. As a side effect, it works. Now, we are trying to
export the data and import it into an 8-bit Char_SET, and translation
occurs, and the 8th bit is lost.. resulting in data lost... any way to
get around this?



  I was thinking exporting the data in US_7ASCII to a dmp file.. and
then modify the DMP file to the 8-bit char set before importing... ??
