自从选用了AL32UTF8字符集做为生产数据库字符集之后，就一直奔走于“乱码”与“转码”之间。
在与“乱码”PK良久之后，有了这个小文儿。
如果想要搞清楚Oracle的字符系统，需要紧紧地抓住三个因素：
一.“客户终端字符集”
二.“NLS_LANG”环境变量
三.“数据库字符集”
如果“NLS_LANG”等于“数据库字符集”时，不需要进行任何转换，直接把字符插入数据库
如果“NLS_LANG”不等于“数据库字符集”，则需要进行转换，乱码的根源就在这里
1.“数据库字符集”是AL32UTF8，具体信息如下：
sys@ora10g> col VALUE for a30
sys@ora10g> select * from nls_database_parameters;
PARAMETER VALUE
------------------------------ ------------------------------
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN
NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_SORT BINARY
NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM
NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM
NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY $
NLS_COMP BINARY
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE
NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP FALSE
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 10.2.0.3.0
20 rows selected.
2.“客户终端字符集”信息如下：
以下实验使用了两种主要客户端（不包括后面提到的PL/SQL Developer和Toad）：一个是XP的cmd命令行工具，另一个是PuTTY工具。
1）XP字符集是
C:\>chcp
Active code page: 936
代码页936就是中文字符集GBK，可以参考msdn的资料《Windows Codepage 936》
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/dbcs/936.htm
2）PuTTY字符集我的设置：utf8
3.客户端使用AL32UTF8字符集进行测试

12.实验结论
1）如果有可能，尽量保证客户端编码（Windows XP的cmd工具可以使用chcp命令来确认）、NLS_LANG参数和数据库字符集这三个内容一致，这样设置，无论是从性能上，还是从防止编码转换上都是最佳的；
2）如果目的是支持中文，数据库Server端的字符集应该尽量选择ZHS16GBK或AL32UTF8字符集，这样可以减少因不当的“转码”导致的字符乱码故障；
3）（推荐）可已将NLS_LANG参数与操作终端字符编码一致，这样可以保证数据库能正确获得应用终端使用的编码，这时会发生“编码转换”，但是，这样就可以保证正确转码，可以防止错误的编码存入数据库；
4）（不推荐）也可以将NLS_LANG参数与数据库服务器端的编码一致，这样，客户端无论是发送到服务器端还是从服务器接收数据都不会“转码”，这样能保证客户端对字符的显示效果，但是，一定要小心，这时数据库服务器上存放的字符编码很可能是错误的。
5）PL/SQL Developer工具在AL32UTF8字符集下貌似可以保证数据效果，但是“Toad同学”貌似不太“稳定”。
