Hi Malini,

You might have to set the "Force to return SQL_WCHAR" for ADO/ODBC connection.

http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle8i/htdocs/faq_combined1.html#ado

It would be best for you to set NLS_LANG to .UTF8 for ASP node.

Thanks,

| 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

|
| For more information take a look at the "Building Multilingual.." paper on
