As mentioned by Ben Ramsey today, Maggie Nelson bumped into an issue in one of her applications with character sets and the incorrect storage/retrieval of information:   Even Oracle, which usually gets storing of data right on the money has had issues with character sets. [...] Needless to say, even when you *know* you set up your database correctly for supporting UTF8, the path to debug issues may be frustrating and full of red herrings.   She mentions the setup the application is using (NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8, NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16) but something wasn't right. The problem popped up when they tried to store Chinese characters into the database with the result of invalid data on a select.    After following several different leads, they finally came upon the culprit - the Apache process didn't have the access it needed to a directory in the ORACLE_HOME. In the end, it all only broke down into three easy steps to fix a very frustrating issue.

(InfoWorld) - Baidu.comÂ on Friday said its not planning to expand into Europe, followingÂ reportsÂ that China's largest search engine would announce such plans later this month. "Recent rumors alleging that Baidu.com is expanding into Europe are groundless," the company said in in a brief statement released through its public-relations firm in Beijing. On Sunday, the U.K.'s Telegraph newspaper reported that Baidu CFO Shawn Wang planned to announce details of a European expansion at a London conference. The newspaper did not name its source. While Baidu's business is largely focused on China, where it dominates the search market, the company recently launched a Japanese search engine as a first, tentative foray into the international market. That site remains blocked in China. Baidu officials have said they expect to spend $15 million onÂ the company's Japanese siteÂ this year.
