Our Java program accesses an Oracle 8i database with charset US7ASCII through the I18N class with language set to French and English. This results in the French characters being displayed correctly. Our goal is to access this same database and be able to display this data in the same way to users. Currently we are trying to access the same database with the OracleClient.OracleDataReader (GetString and GetChars) methods and the French characters are being displayed differently. For example, the e-accent-aigu is being displayed as 'i', while the exact same data is being displayed properly in Java. We have tried switching the Oracle charset both on the server and client-side to UTF8 without success. The only improvement that this resulted in was being able to save and retrieve new data with French characters properly. Playing with the CultureInfo setting did not work as the data seems to be coming back incorrectly from the Oracle server and is not being stored as the correct unicode in .NET. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we have tried many different alternatives. Thank you in advance.
