Oracle: Can a character set be changed after a schema has been created?

DeloeranGuy — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:06:59 +0000

My boss was so pleased with the response from this site that he asked me to ask another question! He was getting character set warnings when doing an export, apparently the charset of his db was different than where he was exporting (I think!).

In any case, we build a new db (schema) prior to loading it with data. Is there a way to change the character set on a new, empty db to prevent any errors? Is there some command we can use?

Thanks again!

Getting “EXP-00091: Exporting questionable statistics.” error on Oracle export

My boss is getting an “EXP-00091: Exporting questionable statistics.” error – actually, several identical messages per table – when using the EXP utility to dump several tables in an Oracle database. I’m not familiar with this utility, so I’m researching the problem for my boss. The information I have is he’s using Oracle XE 10.2.0.1.0.

Is this message common, and is it fatal? The log file (below) says it’s exported the correct number of records, so we need to know if we should be concerned. Thanks!
