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:

1. DB orc1 has a link to DB orc2.
2. Column "name" in orc2 contains a row with a "´" (acute accent)
3. We "select name from emp@orc2".
4. The accent does not show up in the result on orc1.
5. orc1 is on WE8ISO8859P15, orc2 on WE8ISO8859P1.
6. 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
