Hi, Thank you for your response.. I am writing a routine to upload some data to the table, the language I am looking to upload the data is actually arabic, but it inserts gibrish.. any idea how I could support Arabic inserts.. if i insert directly through the DBMS Inserts.. it goes through perfectly... so this is something to do with the reads of the file...any help in this is greatly appreciated.
