Hi,

I have a 11.2 database with the following settings:

NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16

Is there any way I could insert all french accented characters into
this database or the nls_characterset forbids that, even if the
nls_nchar_characterset can handle french accents? I created a test
table with one nvarchar2 column, but there are characters that lose
their accent after creation. (è for example).

Thanks,

hk

How the characters are displayed is also a function of the client
settings so check the local settings (Oracle and O/S) on the client
machine. Oracle will convert characters to the destinaton character
settings on the client, even for NVARCHAR2 columns (if I remember
correctly). You may need to adjust the Oracle client settings or the
Windows codepage to resolve UTF8/UTF16 characters correctly.
