Dear list, we are using an oracle 10g and I have to convert the schema and german / chinese data of the oracle to an postgres 8 database. To do that, I use the ora2pg.pl (version 2.1) / OraPg.pm (version 3.3). If I export the data with DATA or COPY the script will unfortunately export only 7bit characters instead of unicode. I already installed the latest version of DBI, DBD::Pg, DBD::oracle. Who can help me?
