Ray, Interesting observation about MNEMONIC-1...but how would one get their flippers on that character set if they do not have it.. Is it just a matter of installing it onto the NLS server? ..and if I understand fully, NMEMONIC-1 would be considered a superset of ISO8859-1 and UTF8 ? By using this I...
