Character set question

Hi

If I'm using a database character set , let's say, JAPANESE, in which I need two bytes to represent all the possible characters, or maybe more ( sorry about my ignorance ) if I create a table :

CREATE TABLE TESTING ( WORD varchar2(1))

will I be able to insert a japanese character in the column word ? This should take one byte , but I know the japanese set needs to bytes to represent a character, so what will I get ? an error ?

please explain

thanx in advance Received on Mon Jun 04 2001 - 10:07:31 CDT
