Re: Oracle accent

Assuming a multi byte character set is used. An assumption I would have
made, too, but I have had long discussions, based on wrong assumptions.

That's why I said "most probably" ;)
Also he inserted 20 chars in 20 byte. If this would be single byte
charset then there wouldn't be any problem at least connected with
value too big, yea?


1) choose another characterset of the db so that your french
characters are not multi-byte (which actually means rebuild the DB,
actually just a theoretical solution ;)

Hmmm - there is a program called csscan (Character Set Scan), that will
show you whether you can switch from one charset to another.
So, this is not theoretical in all situations, but very likely (based
on earlier made assumptions) in this case.

OK csscan is something new for me.
