关于在Oracle 数据库存储m³（立方米），oracle数据库存储m3

--------------注意：如下操作是在RHEL的VNC中执行的，并不是在secureCRT中执行的。------------
--------------原因:若是在secureCRT执行，m³会显示成：m鲁，见如下的截图,是啥原因我还没研究--

如下是实验的过程：

[oracle@lei1 ~]$ export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
[oracle@lei1 ~]$ sqlplus scott/aaaaaa

NEED TO STORE GREEK, MATH SYMBOLS (Doc ID 1060862.6)

下面全文转载该文章：

Problem Description:  
====================  
You would like to store extended Math symbols and the Greek letter Alpha in 
the database because your business application requires the presence of those 
symbols. You do not know which character set is on the database, but on the 
application your NLS_LANG is set to NLS_LANG=American_America.we8iso8859p1 or 
AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252.
  
Solution Summary:  
=================  
Your database was created with the wrong character set.  Recreate the database 
with the correct character set. 
 
Choice of correct character sets: 
   EL8ISO8859P7 
   UTF8 
   Al32UTF8
 
Solution Description:  
=====================  
To find which character set is on the database level, connect internal or as 
DBA and run the following query: 
 
    SVRMGR> select * from nls_database_parameters; 
 
You probably do not have EL8ISO8859P7, UTF8 or the AL32UTF8 character set 
listed for the NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter. 
 
Other character sets do not contain Greek letters or extended Math symbols.  
The character set that does is EL8ISO8859P7 or a UNICODE as character set, see:
Note:260893.1 Unicode character sets in the Oracle database
 
Solution Explanation:  
=====================  
All character data in an Oracle database is stored using a single character 
encoding scheme (character set). The database encoding scheme does not have 
to be the same as that used by an application to access database data.  
Although, the character set on the database level determines the choice of 
characters that can be stored. The database character encoding scheme is 
specified when the database is created, before it contains any data, by the 
CREATE DATABASE statement. The client-side encoding scheme is specified by 
defining the NLS_LANG parameter for a session. Once CREATE'd, a database 
encoding scheme cannot be changed without re-creating the database.
