How to change Database character set?

675190Aug 11 2009 — edited Aug 17 2009
Hi,

We are planning to make a clone of production Database which has:

select value$ from sys.props$ where name='NLS_CHARACTERSET';

AL32UTF8


We have set up a new server for that purpose and installed database, but by default it has

select value$ from sys.props$ where name='NLS_CHARACTERSET';

WE8ISO8859P1

So after making full import from full backup file we have some broken character in database.


How can I change from WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8?

I expect that I need to shutdown the clone database or even make from scratch full import.

Thanks
