Changing Character Set from AL16UTF16 to AL32UTF8

441615Aug 10 2006 — edited Aug 11 2006

Hi,

I am stuck with a requirement to change the Character Set from AL16UTF16 to AL32UTF8.

I am trying to install the Oracle Content Database & the installer expects the target database to have a Character Set of AL32UTF8. The current Character Set of the Database is AL16UTF16. I am unable to change the Character set as it simply complains that AL32UTF8 is not a super-set of AL16UTF16.The documents that I have consulted mention that such a transitionis not recommended.

How do I convince the installer to continue the installation with AL16UTF16 ? Or, is it possile at all to change the Character Set from AL16UTF16 to AL32UTF8 ?

Please do let me know your thoughts on this.

Regards,

Sandeep
