Dear all,

I tried to install oracle XE on windows2003 and got any problem as the following:
1. Is the oracle XE created database used NLS_CHARACTERSET = AL32UTF8 by default?

2.I tried to change it to TH8TISASCII by :

sql>alter database fujudb character set TH8TISASCII;
ORA-12712: new charactor set must be a superset of old character set

3. Is there any way to solve it?

Thanks for advance !

Chara

ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set
Cause: When you ALTER DATABASE ... CHARACTER SET, the new character set must be a superset of the old character set. For example, WE8ISO8859P1 is not a superset of the WE8DEC.
Action: Specify a superset character set.
