18.6 SIMPLIFIED AND TRADITIONAL CHINESE CONVERSIONS
---------------------------------------------------
This feature offers support for Simplified and Traditional Chinese
conversions, by enabling you to view Simplified Chinese data on Traditional
Chinese clients and Traditional Chinese data on Simplified Chinese clients
regardless of the type of Chinese data (Traditional or Simplified) being
stored in the database. This is performed by mapping individual Chinese
characters to their counter parts in Traditional and Simplified forms.
However, transformation mappings are not possible/available for all Chinese
characters, hence replacement characters may still exist for some cases.
In prior releases, without this mapping, Simplified and Traditional forms
of Chinese characters that have separate encoding in Unicode will result in
a mapping to the '?' character. With this new conversion, loss of
information is minimized.
Please note that the conversions are done on aper-character basis, context
may be lost during the character transformations. For example, one
Simplified Chinese character may correspond to two or more Traditional
Chinese characters. Normally only one of these is the correct one depending
on the context. Oracle provides one to one mapping from one Simplified
Chinese character to one Traditional Chinese character and vice versa only
, so in some cases the meaning of the words could be nonsensical.
Remark
I haven't tested this feature 'cause I haven't the environment.
Can anybody test it? |
