Hi Peter,
We use oracle drivers for ODBC on webserver which is IIS5.0.
Once the data is inserted in database and when we fetch back and look for
string length using ln() function in the ASP Page, it doesn't give us the
right output. Eventhough the characters stored are three, it shows the
string lenth as six. Also it doesn't work with mid(),split() functions.
Thanks in advance,
Malini.

Malini,
There is no difference between Oracle on NT and Oracle on Solaris as far as
database character encoding support is concerned. It would be interesting
to know more about your scenario such as where the string manipulation
functions
are being called etc.
For more information take a look at the "Building Multilingual.." paper on
the
following site:

Peter
