UTF8 is obsolete since version 9.2 and has been replaced by AL32UTF8.
Please read the documentation and articles that are more recent.
In the end, the documentation tells you what are the valid value for national character set.

WE8ISO is not the same as WE8IS0.

Once again, maybe you should read the documentation:

Quote:

Specify the national character set used to store data in columns specifically defined as NCHAR, NCLOB, or NVARCHAR2. Valid values are AL16UTF16 and UTF8. The default is AL16UTF16.

I see NO reason to not use the default.

Michel
