Hi,

I want to use the character of simplified chinese in my oracle database. I search for all and i found that i need to change the character set of the database. Can anybody give me steps for changing the character set? and which character set should be suitable to me?

My current character sets are as below :

NLS_CHARACTERSET=WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=AL16UTF16

Thanks in advance

Samit Gandhi

You have to create a new database with the new character set, export the old database and reimport in the new one using each the appropriate character set in NLS_LANG to minimize the conversions.

I don't know, read Database Globalization Support Guide, Chapter 2 Choosing a Character Set.

And use the following to find the more appropriate one:

select value from V$NLS_VALID_VALUES where parameter='CHARACTERSET' order by 1;
