Russian character display troubles

Question

Hi all
My problem is:
The DB codepage is 1100 (ISO1).
Russian chars come from R/3 side in 1500 (ISO5) codepage and stored as is in a DB.
There is no RU language pack installed on BW system.
As the result I am able to display this data only through the WEB template reports, by forcing them to display data in Cyrillic(ISO) codepage.
And for me it seems, that there is no way to do the same inside the BeX.
Has somebody got any idea how to do it?

Answer 1

SQL> create table t1(name varchar2(5));
Table created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> insert into t1 values('йцу');
1 row created.
SQL> !echo $NLS_LANG
RUSSIAN_RUSSIA.WE8ISO8859P1
SQL> select * from t1;
NAME
eoo
SQL> select name,dump(name,1016) from t1;
NAME
DUMP(NAME,1016)
eoo
Typ=1 Len=3 CharacterSet=CL8MSWIN1251: 65,6f,6f
IN ABOVE $NLS_LANG IS SET WRONG
SO I MADE CHANGES
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
SQL> !export NLS_LANG=RUSSIAN_RUSSIA.CL8MSWIN1251
SQL> !echo $NLS_LANG
RUSSIAN_RUSSIA.CL8MSWIN1251
SQL> select * from t1;
NAME
eoo
SQL> select name,dump(name,1016) from t1;
NAME
DUMP(NAME,1016)
eoo
Typ=1 Len=3 CharacterSet=CL8MSWIN1251: 65,6f,6f
STILL IT IS SHOWING SOMETHIG OTHER THAN RUSSIN CHARACTERS
i m using putty to connect to database and i have set language Win1251 (Cyrillic) in putty
