Hi
I have a data file which has some multi lingual charachter. when read using UTL_FILE.GET_LINE the character is replaced by a ? and also the next charater is lost in the String. Can I use a NVARCHAR2 in the GET_LINE procedure.
How do i read the special char . My database charaterset is UTF8 and I cannot alter it for any reason.
