I have a latin-1 database and i am trying to convert the characterset from latin-1 to UTF-8.
So i shutdown the db and then restarted it in a restricted mode. but i am getting the following error: what is a good way of converting the database character set and national character set ?
SQL> alter database character set AL32UTF8;
alter database character set AL32UTF8
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set
SQL> ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8;
ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12717: Cannot issue ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET when NCLOB, NCHAR
or NVARCHAR2 data exists
Thank you,
Kalpa
