Why impdp warns about character loss here?

edited Jul 19, 2015 1:46PM in Database Utilities (MOSC) 8 commentsAnswered

Hi, I just hit this odd error. I am doing export and import into the same instance in the (same) terminal session. I do have NLS_LANG set to expected value, I do expdp without issues but on import I am warned about possible data loss and it seems like no NLS settings were set during export. Does anyone know what it could be?

[oracle@ ~]$ echo $NLS_LANG

AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8

[oracle@ ~]$ expdp ...

...

[oracle@ ~]$ impdp ...
