	| hello, 
 i'm having a prob with charactersets.
 i programmed a xml-solution, which writes a xml-file using xmldom. this file can contain umlaut (ä,ö etc.).
 i load the file into another database using following code:
 
 l_bfile := BFILENAME('VR_XML_IN', p_filename);
 
 DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (l_clob, TRUE);
 DBMS_LOB.fileopen(l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
 DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(l_clob, l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.getlength(l_bfile));
 DBMS_LOB.fileclose(l_bfile);
 
 INSERT INTO XML_TABLE (
 CONTENT)
 VALUES
 (
 XMLTYPE.CreateXML(l_clob)
 );
 
 in out test-environment this works very well - we use characterset: WE8MSWIN1252
 in real-environment, all umlauts are changed - when i debug with toad,  i watch l_clob and see, instead of 'ä' vice versa question marks and stuff like this.
 They work with: WE8ISO8859P15.
 Both use MS-Windows 2k Server as Database Server OS.
 Oracle Version is 9.2.x
 
 maybe someone who knows a solution?
 
 thx in advance,
 marrec
 
 in out test-environment this

	| so, after a lot of test an readings i'm one step further. 
 the output routine, uses following code to export xml-data to a file:
 
 DBMS_LOB.CreateTemporary(v_xml_clob, TRUE);
 xmldom.writetoclob(doc,v_xml_clob);
 
 v_xml_content := new xmltype(v_xml_clob);
 INSERT INTO XML_TAG
 (CONTENT)
 VALUES							( 							v_xml_content);
 xmldom.writeToFile(doc, v_path || '\' || v_filename);
 
 So in my xml-type column in table XML_TAB, everything is okay!
 but in the output-file there is no umlaut.
 
 can i write the xml-data with this function in some other format like UTF8 or ISO8859-1?

	| yippieheiye, 
 i got it!
 
 with the function xmldom.getCharSet i saw that the xmldocument had the character set 'AL32UTF8'.
 xmldom.writeToClob converted this to database standard characterset. xmldom.writeToFile didn't!
 
 with function xmldom.setCharSet i converted xml-document to WE8ISO8859P1, and now it works!
 
 unfortunately WE8ISO8859P15 seems to be not supported, so i can't use € euro currency symbol.
 
 so far,
 marrec
