Obsolete Locale Data

Oracle has renamed many character sets over time. This appendix lists them.

Obsolete NLS Data

Prior to Oracle server release 7.2, when a character set was renamed, the old name was usually supported along with the new name for several releases after the change. Beginning with release 7.2, the old names are no longer supported.

Table C-1 lists the affected character sets. If you reference any of these character sets in your code, please replace them with their new name:

Character set CL8MSWINDOW31 has been desupported. The newer character set CL8MSWIN1251 is actually a duplicate of CL8MSWINDOW31 and includes some characters omitted from the earlier version. Change any usage of CL8MSWINDOW31 to CL8MSWIN1251 instead.
