I've got another character set / NLS question.

My company used to run Oracle on an Apple Macintosh Server running A/UX. The database was set up with a Mac-Specific Character set - WE8MACROMAN8.

We have now purchased a HP9000 as our new server. Oracle on HP does not support the Mac character set.

Does anybody know what character set on the HP handles Macintosh Extended characters - things like bullets and stuff.

Our configuration is going to be Macintosh clients running a variety of query tools with a HP9000 as the database server. The Oracle database version on the HP is 7.0.16.xxx. I would like to hear from other HP/Mac shops on what character sets they use.

I called up Oracle support and they suggested a couple of character sets which didn't work. They were probably just guessing. I call them again tomorrow morning.

Thank you
