Hello,
You could also try
SELECT DUMP(emp_name, 1010) from sql_server_table;
Lets see what Oracle "thinks" this column type is?
Oracle should think its NVARCHAR not VARCHAR2.

Frank

Hi,
We have configured Oracle Gateway to query SQL server from our Oracle 19
database. However the results add a blank character to every character
returned for columns in sql server that are defined as unicode columns, ie,
nvarchar columns.
Here is an example of a query result in SQL plus with the source table in
sql server:
emp_id emp_name city
---------- ------------------------- ----------
100 M u t h u New York
200 G a r y Seattle
201 D a v e Oak Brook
The table definition on the sql server side is:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[employee](
[emp_id] [smallint] NULL,
[emp_name] [*nvarchar*](50) NULL,
[city] [*char*](10) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Is there a way in Oracle to strip off the blanks automatically, in this
example for the emp_name column?
Thanks,
Ram
