Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Missing Character when selecting over DB Link w/ different character sets

Hi Y'all,

I have an interesting issue here that came up on a test system. Herer's the scenario:

DB orc1 has a link to DB orc2.
Column "name" in orc2 contains a row with a "´" (acute accent)
We "select name from emp@orc2".
The accent does not show up in the result on orc1.
orc1 is on WE8ISO8859P15, orc2 on WE8ISO8859P1.
orc1 is 10.2.0.3, orc2 9.2.0.6.

The accent is there in both character sets, only with different entry points. So, why does it disappear?

Thanks for your input,

Uwe
