HI,

We have Forms 6i, we are going for Multilingual, and it has Oracle 11g db.
We are updating the database with one more column in an exiting table with
NVarchar2. The approach we are going for Column level Character set Updates.

One more approach is Full Database level Character Set.

I try to compile a Forms 6i it has oracle 11g database, it has a column has type with NVarchar2, it
Says Character set not supportive, for that forms level what all the set up need to do?

I had set change for NLS

NLS_LANGUAGE=SIMPLIFIED CHINESE
NLS_TERRITORY=CHINA
NLS_CHARACTERSET=ZHS16GBK
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=USASCII7

And NLS setting in REGEDIT

SIMPLIFIED CHINISE_CHINA.ZHS16CGB231280

Also done.

Still I have problem of

1. Compiling. If I compile with VARCHAR2, then use that same form, it does not identifying. If I try to COST VARCHAR2 or CHAR to NVARCAHR2 then also it’s not identifying.

2. I try to insert the Chinese String from Backend with some editor, the data are getting into database, while selecting it comes as '?????????'.

We are looking what we can do for an application level.

Type Cost or any method are available

Thanks,
Guru.
