Hi there,

Is it possible to change the Character set from UTF7 to UTF8 on Oracle 8i/AIX 4.3.3 without recreating the database? The issue is that I cannot store French characters (é, ç, è,....)
Help is very appreciated,

The short answer is no.
An unload via a set of selects and then use sqlloader to
reload into the new database, is really your only way to do
this.
Or - create a new database, link the 2 and create table as
select * from table@old

However test this carefully.

good luck
