SQL Loader unicode (umlaut) problem

586714Jun 10 2008 — edited Sep 21 2010
Hi

I want to load some data with SQL Loader. The data contains german umlaut like ä, ö, ü.
The loading process works, but the umlaut are transformed to something like 'ü' in the DB. How can I get to load them correctly?

My environment:
- DB 10g Rel.2
- Windows XP
- Registry key in Ora_Home: NLS_LANG=GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252

I tried it with setting the character set in the CTL file:
characterset 'WE8MSWIN1252'
That didn't help either.

Does anyone have an idea? I searched the forum but didn't find a solution.
Thanks for your help,

Roger
