Description
Use the VARWIDTHNCHAR and NOVARWIDTHNCHAR parameters to control how NCHAR data is written to the trail and interpreted by Replicat.
VARWIDTHNCHAR causes an NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, or NCLOB character set to be treated as a variable-length character set (UTF-8).
NOVARWIDTHNCHAR causes an NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, or NCLOB character set to be treated as UTF-16.
If neither option is specified, the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET property value from the database is used to determine how an NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, or NCLOB character set is treated.
Default
Use NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET property from database
