Question about Character Set/NLS Settings
Hi ! I've read through the articles about it but haven't worked with oracle for a while so I would appreciate help to know for sure that I understand this right.
The database has the characterset we8mswin1252. However the customer is typing in certain russian letters that doesn't exist in the characterset so it writes back the ascii-code 192 (not known up and down questionmark to the database). Obviously our application then can't show the cyrillic/russian characters
My understanding is that in order to store and read this data they need to have a cyrilic characterset (we8mswin1251).
Am I right in that assumption or is there any way to go around this and make it work by using conversion through NLS_Lang symbols ?
