Re: mod_plsql / dad / character set problem

This is a bug in Oracle, because 0x80 has no meaning in WE8ISO8859P1.
Basically the database allows you to store an invalid character.


Beg to differ - if it's a bug, it's a bug in Windows.
Or rather: it's a bug called politicians. European legislation
was so dreadfully slow defining code points, Microsoft decided
on their own (hey - haven't we seen them do that more often?)
to use 0x080. I'd say Win2k introduction had to do with this, but
am just guessing here. Oracle waited and waited and got bad press
for being so slow in their implementation of the Euro symbol, but
at least Oracle uses the official code point.

It is not by coincidence, the character set is called we8MSWIN...
