Database support for unicode
504552Jan 20 2009 — edited Jan 21 2009Hello, I am in the process uf upgrading database installation scripts so they will support Unicode. I just want to clarify that by changing the Character set to say for example AL32UTF8 and the National Character Set to UTF8 the database will then be able to support Unicode. Do I need to also change all the VARCHAR2 and CHAR2 data types to NVARCHAR2 and CHAR2? When changing the character sets do the database then default to bytes instead of characters for multibyte character storage? Thank you.
