Folks
On an internal Test 10gR2 Database running of CSALTER.plb is Failing
when Attempting to Alter Character Set from US7ASCII to AL32UTF8.
Qs Does User/Application Data which during CSSCAN reported 2 types of
Errors i.e. "Truncation" & "Lossy conversion" necessarily needs to be
Manually Corrected?
NOTE - We do NOT seek to Manually correct the Application Data, but want
CSALTER to go thru successfully.
Qs Should the 3 indexes which need to be RE-built be DROPPED before
Running the CSALTER.PLB Script & RE-built After ALTERATION?
Application = Banking Product
O.S. = HP-UX B.11.11
Thanks indeed
Vivek
