Question about character set

edited Jul 25, 2010 10:49PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 11 commentsAnswered ✓
Hi, I've got a software using a database with character set P1.
The software clients use the Oracle client.
The NLS_LANG for my clients is equal to P1 for 8i clients and 1252 for 10g clients.
the character € doesn't exist in character set P1 but exists in character set 1252.
If I insert the character € from the software client on a pc with Oracle client 8i, I see correctly € from the same client and bad character from 10g client.

I don't understand : that character doesn't exist in the database character set, so it's going to be stored incorrectly in it.
So How can Oracle could display it correctly ?

Howdy, Stranger!
