Unicode to Ascii Oracle 10g
Posted on 2013-01-02
I have a view created in Oracle 10g that outputs one field, which is returned Unicode.
My clients have old ODBC drivers that do not recognize Unicode.
How do I convert this field to ASCII ?

Depending on what unicode characters are in the data, it may not be possible. For example, how would you convert a chinese character to simple ascii?
Can you provide some sample data and expected results?

>>All the data will be ASCII
Then why can't you just select it? an 'A' in a unicode database should be an 'A' when you select it out.
I agree with awking00, let's take a look at your view code.

I doubt this will solve the issue since the Unicode is likely coming from the default database characterset but wanted to throw it out there just in case it will trick the ODBC drivers.
