The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hi All,
I need your technical guidance related to Urdu Support in Oracle Forms & Reports 9i.

Below are the details of requirement and R&D effort we made to achieve the desired output:

Requirement:
============
We have an application in Oracle Forms & Report 9i Rel 2 and Database 9i Rel 2.
There is a client requirement to provide Urdu support in this application. We have to enter Urdu data in few forms and print it in PDF reports.

Problem:
===========
We created new database with AL32UTF8 Character Set with same National Character Set for Unicode support.
Developed a form and report on a table with NVARCHAR2 data type.
Edited nls_lang entries in Registry to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32.UTF8
Installed Urdu Support in WinXp
Database stores and retrieves Urdu and displays Oracle SQL Developer.
Oracle form stores/retrieves Urdu characters but it fails to type complete words and sentences.
On typing 2nd, 3rd characters of a words all characters position mix up randomly and produce garbage.
Oracle report don't show Urdu characters in run-time but it shows the same in Report Builder.

Further more, Our group of applications works in Materialized View Replication environment [5-6 applications consolidate data at a Central Database]. If we change Character Set of one application's database to Unicode then is it must to apply the change in all databases of replication group.

Please suggest if Oracle IDS 9i or 10g provides support for Urdu. If yes then please suggest solution of the above stated problems.

Looking forward for your quick response.
