Error ORA-06550 PLS-00553

[InitZero]

Hello,

I use PL/SQL Developer
Version 7.0.1.1066 (MBCS)
(Windows XP version 6,0 (build 2600) Service Pack 2).

When I try to write even simple statement ("SELECT * FROM DUAL") I always get an error:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 36:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized
ORA-06550: line 0, column 0:
PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated

I don't have this error when using TOAD or SQLPlus.

Can anyone tell me, what's going on?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe this is an environment problem. Can you go to Help > Support Info, press the 'Copy all pages' button on this info screen, and paste this text into an e-mail reply?

Hello,

i get the same error connecting to an oracle 10g database in unicode format.

Did you solve this problem, are there any hints?

Thanks
Dirk

This problem was fixed by upgrading an Oracle 8.1 client to 9.2. If you can provide the same info as asked above, we can look into your configuration as well.

Hello Marco,

i have replaced the Oracle clients (8.1.7 to 10g), now it works.

Thank you
