Hello,

Dear Mr. Kalter,

ASCIISTR returns 'Gr\FFFD\FFFDnordnung' instead of 'Gr

Dear Mr. Kalter,

I do not know what gets wrong!

I forget..

My NLS_LANG is 'GERMAN_GERMANY.AL32UTF8'

Database is:
1 NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN
2 NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
3 NLS_COMP BINARY
4 NLS_CURRENCY $
5 NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR
6 NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
7 NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY $
8 NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA
9 NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
10 NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE
11 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
12 NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP FALSE
13 NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,
14 NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 9.2.0.8.0
15 NLS_SORT BINARY
16 NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
17 NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM
18 NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM

I did some tests more!

I inserted one row with PL/SQL-Developer and queried the content of it with dump(t.country,1017):

Typ=1 Len=13 CharacterSet=AL32UTF8: c3,96,s,t,e,r,r,e,i,c,h, ,2

The query of the data imported with DirectPathLoader results:

Typ=1 Len=10 CharacterSet=AL32UTF8: d6,s,t,e,r,r,e,i,c,h

Is it possible that I have to convert the data before DirectPathLoader import them?

Kind regards

William

Hello,

please excuise me!
Did you forget me?

No, I didn't forget. It seems that the Direct Path interface does not perform character set conversion for CLOB columns, but we are still looking into this.
