All,
I need to support the entry and display of multiple languages from the
database (9.2.0.4 on IBM AIX). I created the database with the AL32UTF8
character set (which supports American, Russian, Spanish & French).
We tried entering Russian text. We think it is entered ok - one of the
developers says it shows up as Russian characters.
But I can't display the correct character set on my screen. I tried setting
the NLS_LANG environmental both in Unix and on my desktop.
From my desktop, I get ??? from the database column where the russian data
is stored. And when I select to_char(sysdate,'month') from dual, I get
gibberish characters back. It looks like it is trying to translate the
chars to something, but it's lost.
On Unix,
I get similar results. Nothing that looks like Russian characters to me.
Anybody done this successfully?
Thanks,
Thomas Mercadante
