It seems that NLS settings aren't correctly set. I, personally, have no experience with it, but - use Forum's Search facility and look for "arab"; there've been such questions previously, so you might find the answer.

Dear sir,

Thankyou for reply.

I read the document.

I think I know whers is the problem now, but I don't know how to solve.

I used the following command to check language parameter in Oracle:
--------------------
[b]Select userenv('language') from dual;
the answer was:

AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252


------------------
althou,in windows registry oracle home I have:
ARABIC_EGYPT.AR8MSWIN1256
or
AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256


---------------------
How could I change WE8MSWIN1252 in database, to AR8MSWIN1256 ??
