Folks
Need to Convert the Character Set of an Oracle10gR2 with RAC TEST
Database from the Default "US7ASCII" to UTF8
Is the following Procedure to be followed?
1) Shutdown the 2nd instance
2) Export ALL the Tables (including SYS, SYSTEM Schema) having CLOB
Datatype field
select distinct ('TABLE '||A.OWNER|| '.'||A.TABLE_NAME) from
dba_tab_columns A, dba_tables B where A.table_name = B.table_name and
DATA_TYPE= 'CLOB'
3) SQL> ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET AL32UTF8;
4) Import back ALL the Tables exported in Step 1
5) Export related Environment Variables:-
NLS_LANG=.AL32UTF8; export NLS_LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LANG
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8; export LC_ALL
Thanks indeed
Vivek
