How to install WE8EBCDIC500 on Oracle XE?
Question
I need to make the "WE8EBCDIC500" character set available in an Oracle XE installation (on my desktop) to import a mainframe-generated file.
Running SELECT value FROM v$nls_valid_values WHERE parameter='CHARACTERSET'
does not show this character set to be installed and I get KUP-03006: error initializing handle for character set WE8EBCDIC500
when attempting to use it.
How can this be done? Thanks.
Solution
EBCDIC is not on the list of supported character sets published in the release notes for XE.
