Best Practice Regarding Oracle Character Sets

edited Dec 14, 2011 5:09AM in Siebel System Admin, Install and Upgrade (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

I have a quick question regarding best practice for setting the database character sets and national character sets when creating an oracle database for a Siebel Application (I'm using 8.2.2).

In bookshelf two possibilities are mentioned for the database character sets (WE8MSWIN1252 or AL32UTF8).

I assume that best practice is to use AL32UTF8? I assume that this gives me the ability to support unicode. The bookshelf states to set the national character set to AL32UTF8.

Does this cound correct that best practice is AL32UTF8 (DB Character Set) and AL32UTF8 (National Character Set). I'm a little fuzzy on the distinction between the two.

Howdy, Stranger!
