Hi.
We had a problem with OCILobRead when reading a multibyte LOB buffer (Korean).

We have found a workaround that seems to solve this problem, but is somewhat awkward. The workaround is to call OCILobRead with csid parameter set to 1, instead of 0, which explicitly sets a charset ID to be used for the returned buffer.

Our questions are:
1. Is this an appropriate solution?
2. Is there a better approach?
3. What influence will have not using NLS_LANG on the client side?

Thanks.

This is probably a DOA bug, so perhaps we can add suppport for this in 4.1. Can you let me know the results of the following query on this database?

select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter like 'NLS%CHARACTERSET';
