Toad Character Problem

You may encounter different kinds of character problems while using Toad. One kind is common and i know it made many developers angry; if your nls_lang setting is not compatible with the country you are working then your code might get corrupted. For example if you write a note like 'İstanbul - Üsküdar' and your nls_lang is set to English then you should expect the corruption. If you are going to use Turkish characters like these then you should set nls_lang to Turkish: Start> run> regedit> search nls_lang > AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P9 -> TURKISH_TURKEY.TR8MSWIN1254

Another problem I have witness is the results of your query may shown in Chinese characters! In that case your problem is probably the Home of your Toad or Toad Options font selection.

If you have problem while extraction of data then you may use "Excel Instance" for export format as a workaround.
