Hello,
I know that we could configure Oracle to accept UTF-8 strings in varchar2,
nvarchar2, clob and nclob fields by setting the AL32UTF8 charset.
But I have also read that the varchar2 and clob field types are ment for
storing 1-byte chars and that the nvarchar2 and nclob fields are for storing
national character data.
But this is not clear enough. If I want to store UTF-8 strings, what should I
use? varchar2 and clob, or nvarchar2 and nclob or it doesn't matter if I set
AL32UTF8 for all these field types?
Thanks.
