Only if everyone shares his code, document, or whatever related, the Open Source projects can grow up healthy. (2) For yourself: You release your code can actuall...

  Handling Chinese Character Encoding Issues in Oracle Database

When working with Chinese data in Oracle databases, character encoding issues often lead to garbled text, preventing proper display and processing. This is typically because the default character set in Oracle is US7ASCII, which cannot recognize Chinese characters.
