Hi Gurus,

NT 4.0 SP6
Oracle 8.1.7.0.3

I hope there is someone out there with the answer to this question!
Our developers are trying to insert a string of 250 characters into a
VARCHAR2 column. The string contains some CZECH special characters. The
Database code page is set to EE8ISO8859P2. The init.ora parameter
NLS_TERITORY is set to "CZECH REPUBLIC". We are using Merant Data Direct
Drivers which do not require the Oracle middleware to be installed on the
client machine. The problem is this string is being truncated. My question
is this . . . WHY?! Are the Latin-2 CZECH special characters larger than 8
bits? Any insight into this would be helpful. I can not seem to find the
right combo of search words to find anything about character size on
Metalink.

TIA
