We are storing both Eastern and Western European languages in the db
along with the majority of English strings.
No problems here.

Subject: Reading English text in multi-byte character set DB - Any
Issues?

We are in the process of creating a new data warehouse to replace (and
expand on) an older one.  The database will be an Oracle 9i RAC with
Data Guard (logical standby) setup.  

There are near-term future plans for adding text, address information
from other languages (i.e., Portuguese, Spanish, French and possibly
Japanese and Chinese addresses). If we go to a multi-byte setup (e.g.,
double-byte), will we encounter any problems with storing and reading
English text?  

Also, are there any other issues that anyone has encountered using a
multi-byte character set on an Oracle database that is primarily (98+ %)
storing English text?

Regards,

William
