maybe you should change your approach to solve this, I would use a numeric data
type to store the ascii for the symbol and just make the conversion as
required..
sql> select ascii('£') from dual;
ASCII('î')
----------
156
sql> create table money (quantity number, currency number);
Table created.
sql> insert into money values (100, 156);
1 row created.
sql> select quantity, chr(currency) from money;
QUANTITY C
---------- -
100 £

Subject: Displaying £ symbol (pound sterling) Oracle 10G
Hi,
I am having problems storing and retrieving the £
(pound sterling) symbol ... I can store it as £
but it comes back as # !
If I change NLS_TERRITORY to 'UNITED KINGDOM" the
currency symbol comes back as #
I think I may need to change the character set of
the DB, has anyone had any experience with this?
Regards
Steve
