Hi,
I want to replace all German characters of a column of a table to corresponding English characters. When I tried with Replace() function it is not returning fruitful result.
I want to replace all German special characters like- Ä Ö Ü ö ä ü ß to Ae Oe Ue oe ae ue ss. Please let me know how to perform that? Do I need to change any DB settings?
Please find some results below:
select replace('a b c d e ä f g ö','ä','ae') from dual;
Output:
REPLACE('ABCDEDFGV','D','AE')
a b c ae e ae f g v
