WE8ISO8859P1 character set

[beechill4]

Hi,

I have an oracle 9i database that needs to support both English and Polish.

the character set is currently WE8ISO8859P1. Will this allow for Polish characters?

I know that WE8ISO8859P1 is more of a western european set so I need to make sure its compatiable with Polish

Beechill,

Sim/Dima is our resident expert on Eastern European character sets. Until he responds, how about a test...Why don't you store Polish characters in a VARCHAR column and see if everything stores properly? Remember that your client machine must also have a code set that supports Polish characters...if not, your database could be properly storing the Polish, but your client misinterprets them.

Let us know your findings.

Hi Dave,

just did a bit of research and it looks like it does not support polish.

I will need to use something like UTF8 to store english, polish, and the euro symbol

Actualy I use cyrillic script while polish uses latin

If you're on Wndows try EE8MSWIN1250. EE8ISO8859P2 may also suit. And of course UTF fits all. BTW what is your OS?
