Hello, I have gotten Ora2pg to work fairly well for me, but I am having an issue where mutibyte characters are being substituted with replacement characters on export from Oracle. I used both the output to a file and the direct import to a PG database and see a bunch of question marks instead of my multibyte chars. I have pulled text directly from each database using the exact same DBD::Oracle and DBD::Pg modules and the Oracle set displays the multibytes appropriately, so I believe I have elminated that module as a potential problem. The oracle characters from the original table look fine when I select from the table. An example (which may or may not come through correctly for everyone) is as follows: <p>16を基数とした数。16進数では、0~9までの桁数字を通常どおり<p> The postgres characters from the destination table look like: <p>16????????16?????0?9????????????????????????<p> Any hints as to what I need to do to get them corrected. When I output to a flat file it appears as though the question marks are in the flat file so something on export seems to be getting corrupted.
