internationalization problem
-
i'am making a web application which is supposed to be multilingual. the database i'am using is an oracle 8i db. the application is supposed to take input in different languages and store it in the db which has been configured to have a character set as UTF-8. the problem is while entering and displaying back the data tha user has entered is working fine but when i query the db to check the contents it gives scrap. for eg the user types in japanese and stores it in the db. while retreivng the data it gets the same data back which is not the problem but now when i query the db to check the contents it show junk insteead of japanese data. i want to generate oracle reports so this is turning out ot be a major problem now also i don't want to use the convert function. please help me out manish
