Hi,

I exported oracle database from one server in a dmp file. then i imported it in another oracle database server. when i saw the imported data the columns which were storing german data is in rubbish characters.

then i remember that the database from where i exported is having nls language as german. i executed this statement to set the nls on the new server

alter system set nls_lang=german SCOPE=SPFILE

but now my database is not getting started always giving me error -
cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified.

i also set the path NLS_LANG=german in the solaris environment.


Regards
Sandy

It depends on:
1/ You source database character set
2/ Your export character set (see NLS_LANG at this time)
3/ Your import character set (see NLS_LANG at this time, "german" is NOT a character set but a language, so character set is default one: US7ASCII)
4/ your target database character set

To get it correct: export with source database character set, import with target database character set.

Regards
Michel
