Niamath,

Metalink has a technical note (119164.1) which shows which = character sets=20 are valid for the ALTER DATABSE CHARACTER SET=20 command.

This=20 indicates that you won't be able to change the character=20 set.

Hi ,

We presently have a database with = "EE8ISO8859P2"=20 character set . Can I change it to the US7ASCII char = set?

Learnt from the documentation = that if the=20 current character set is a subset of the character set you want to = change to ,=20 Oracle does allow that. But the question is whether US7ASCII is a = subset of=20 "EE8ISO8859P2"

TIA..
