how to get utf8 data to nvarchar colums of an iso db?

jymarkusgFeb 9 2009 — edited Feb 11 2009
Dear experts!

I have got to databases - one with UTF8 and the other with ISO8859P1 characterset.

In the UTF8 DB I have a test table containing utf8 data:
create table text (c1 varchar2(100));
insert into text values ('Abkürzung für Česká zbrojovka test');

In the ISO DB I have the following table:
create table text (c1 nvarchar2(200));

I also created a database link from the ISO to the UTF8 DB and did the following insert:

insert into text select c1 from text@utf8db;

But on selecting from the ISO table I get the following result:
Abkürzung für ¿eská zbrojovka test

So what is going wrong here?

Thanks
Markus
