? changing to we8dec character set problems

Hi,



I have a Oracle 7.2.3 server running as US7ASCII. I received
an export file in WE8DEC. When I load it, the server "corrupts"
the german characters to jibberish.



When I change NLS_LANG in the init.ora to dutch danish, it does'nt
matter.



Can I leave the server running US7ASCII, drop the old database,
create a new one as WE8DEC, load the data, and have things work?



Do I need to reinstall the whole thing from scratch ?



Any thoughts?



Please respond to :	dflinn_at_kpmg.com



Thanks !



david
