This goes along with my previous post.
When importing the dump file imp tells me
import done in WE8ISO8859P1 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character
set
export client uses US7ASCII character set (possible charset conversion)
export server uses US7ASCII NCHAR character set (possible ncharset
conversion)
True enough. imp doesn't seem to have a way to set charset, so I set
an environment variable called NLS_LANG to .US7ASCII and tried again -
same result.
So, since I can't change the database to use US7ASCII, is there
anything at all I can do here? I don't see how to reload the data
without the same result. I could try exporting it from the old
database in WE8ISO8859P1 format but I doubt that's going to help.
I don't understand why we're having this problem in the first place;
this conversion just adds an extra bit to each character, it's not
supposed to change anything!
