Compatible NLS_LANG for Oracle and Informix

praveendJan 27 2008 — edited Feb 1 2008

Hello All,

What is the compatible NLS_LANG setting that supports both Informix (IDS 9.4) and Oracle (10.2G)?

We have Python (v2.5) programs which retrieve the data from Informix and Oracle are giving different encoding. For e.g ü character is getting encoded as "\xfc" from Informix and same character is getting encoded as "\xc3\xbc" from Oracle.

We are setting NLS_LANG to AL32UTF8 in Python as: os.putenv("NLS_LANG","_.AL32UTF8")

OS: Lunix SuSE.

Thanks in advance.
