UTF-8

Post by ronnieds »

Hi everybody,
We have a table which has russian characters.

We are trying to see the data through view data from oracle stage it's giving "??????" symbols.

We have tried to use a $NLS_LANG env variable & passed "AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8" parameter value to it.
Still it is not working. Please suggest what can be done :)

Regards,

Welcome aboard.

The AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8 character map clearly does not handle Cyrillic characters, because "written American" (if I may use that description) does not use them.

You need to specify a map that can handle Russian characters. Every map includes ASCII characters, so all you need to do is to find the correct map name.

You may need to set NLS_LANG for Oracle but, in addition, set map name for DataStage, at project or job level.

Any one knows the solution ?!
(even a year later as it may be)
I think it is not ok to open a topic and then simply say its resolved!
How about something regarding the solution :?:

I think it's reasonably safe to infer, because Craig's post was quoted, that Craig's suggestion was the resolution.
