Hi,
I need to convert my database (version 10.1.0.5 ) character set from WE8ISO8859P1 to UTF8, the OS is SUN 5.8. What is the best method to achieve this? Did anyone had any problem doing this conversion?
Thanks,
GK

There is only one way: export/create a new database/import

Migrating a Character Set Using the CSALTER Script

Quote:

The CSALTER script is the most straightforward way to migrate a character set, but it can be used only if all of the schema data is a strict subset of the new character set.

=> No unless you only used US7ASCII data.
