Hi All,

I am trying to insert arabic data to the oracle database. When i insert arabic data it is taking unicode so burden on db increases.
Please suggest a solution ASAP.

Kiran

Most Arabic characters presumably use more than one byte per character. If you store a character using more than one byte, there will be some overhead. Try storing just ascii data in the same same database to compare performance with arabic characters. You need to try to make sure that un-necessary codepage conversion isn't being done. Example is Oracle has data stored in UTF8 and your Oracle client has nls_lang of UTF8, then no codepage conversion gets done. If you set client nls_lang to a compatible, but different setting, UTF8 will still undergo conversion to the client codepage.
