SQL into UNIX\Oracle - European Characters
Hi All! I'm new to Unix\Oracle but have been working with MS SQL Server for 8 years. I'm in the process of migrating data from MS to Oracle and have hit a problem.
Some of the information I'm porting over has the following characters in it: ü and Ö to show a few. I'm able to export them out of MS SQL Server without any issues but on the FTP over to the UNIX server they are displayed (using vi to look at it) as so respectively: \37 and \326. If I use SQL Loader and import the file into Oracle, all of those european type letters then show up in Oracle as upside down ? (question marks).
I'm guessing that it might have something to do with the way UNIX is configured, or the way FTP is handling the copy process (tried both ascii and binary file transfers and either worked) but I'm not sure what or where to look? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
oci_set_module_name
OCI_SET_MODULE_NAME(3) OCI_SET_MODULE_NAME(3)
oci_set_module_name - Sets the module name
SYNOPSIS
bool oci_set_module_name (resource $connection, string $module_name)
DESCRIPTION
Sets the module name for Oracle tracing.
The module name is registered with the database when the next 'roundtrip' from PHP to the database occurs, typically when an SQL statement
is executed.
The name can subsequently be queried from database administration views such as V$SESSION. It can be used for tracing and monitoring such
as with V$SQLAREA and DBMS_MONITOR.SERV_MOD_ACT_STAT_ENABLE.
The value may be retained across persistent connections.
PARAMETERS
o $connection
-An Oracle connection identifier, returned by oci_connect(3), oci_pconnect(3), or oci_new_connect(3).
o $module_name
- User chosen string up to 48 bytes long.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
NOTES
Note
Oracle version requirement
This function is available when PHP is linked with Oracle Database libraries from version 10 g onwards.
Tip
Performance
With older versions of OCI8 or the Oracle Database, the client information can be set using the Oracle DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO pack-
age. This is less efficient than using oci_set_client_info(3).
Caution
Roundtrip Gotcha
Some but not all OCI8 functions cause roundtrips. Roundtrips to the database may not occur with queries when result caching is
enabled.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Setting the module name
<?php
$c = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
// Record the module
oci_set_module_name($c, 'Home Page');
// Code that causes a roundtrip, for example a query:
$s = oci_parse($c, 'select * from dual');
oci_execute($s);
oci_fetch_all($s, $res);
sleep(30);
?>
// While the script is running, the administrator can see the
// modules in use:
sqlplus system/welcome
SQL> select module from v$session;
