CODE PAGES

[Coelho Pinto Ferreira, Fatima (NSN - PT/Amadora)]

Hi all,

I am fresh in toad and in dba for oracle.

I am confused have a data base oracle with an installation default and I am to use toad 9.1.

Now I need to use a database with codepage UTF8.

Toad uses codepage UTF8 default of the installation oracle or uses ASCII.

It is possible in toad to change ASCII for UTF8....

Please it would like to be clarified...

Thanks in advance

Toad's one major 'flaw' is that it is unable to handle UTF8/Unicode
database character sets very well. This is unfortunate. I know that a
lot of work is being done behind the scenes to get Toad up to date with
Unicode but as yet, not much has been released.

There is a special version of Toad - the International Version that does
handle Unicode, however, if I remember correctly, if is based on Toad
8.x. You should contact your Toad Sales person to get advice and
information on how to obtain a copy of this version.

There is a thread here with information from the developers on the plans
for Toad and Unicode :

The above information is, of course, subject to correction by the
developers at Quest who know far more about it than I do!

Cheers,
Norm. [TeamT]
