String vs ustring
What is the difference between string and ustring?
Thanks Craig!!!chulett wrote:This should help.
So it means we define unicode character set only when either we have NLS enabled or data s being transferred between two sources which might have different native character set.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, you're wrong. No product is able to transfer data between two sources which might have different character set (from each other).
Unicode should be used when the data being processed can not be represented in a single-byte character set (and even sometimes when it can be).
More information about Unicode can be had from http://www.unicode.org web site.
Incidentally, the "u" in ustring does not stand for Unicode; it stands for "unsigned".
