Language problem

285207Sep 24 2002
Hi all,

I am having some japanese datas in my oracle database. If i select those datas i got the following output.

SQL> SELECT LNAME FROM TEMP;

LNAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
???
???
???


Then i gave the following command
SQL> alter session set nls_language = 'JAPANESE';

Session altered.

SQL> alter session set nls_territory = 'JAPAN';

Session altered.

Even now i am not able to see the japanese characters.
my database characterset is utf8.

What will be the problem. Please suggest something to overcome this problem. And for your info i can able to see the japanese character in the japanses Operating system. But my os is English.

bye
Nathan
