Add new Character Set (Arabic AR8MSWIN1256) to existing 11gR1 (Windows)

644807Jun 12 2010 — edited Sep 14 2010

Hi all

I have an installed 11gR1 database on Windows 2008 platform with default character set of AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252.

How do I go about adding another character set (ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.AR8MSWIN1256) to the database so that it support storage/retrieval of arabic characters as well as English? Is this possible?

Or do I have to recreate the database with both character sets selected at creation time?

Cheers.
