Niamath,
Metalink has a technical note (119164.1) which shows which character sets are valid for the ALTER DATABSE CHARACTER SET command. This indicates that you won't be able to change the character set.

Hi ,

We presently have a database with "EE8ISO8859P2" character set . Can I change it to the US7ASCII char set?
Learnt from the documentation that if the current character set is a subset of the character set you want to change to , Oracle does allow that. But the question is whether US7ASCII is a subset of "EE8ISO8859P2"

TIA.. Regards
Niamath
