Hi,

As far as I know, you should be able to see the characters correctly without doing anything special. Does your Windows version match your database character set?

Remove the NLS env variable and try again.

Are you sure that these “dirty” characters are correctly stored on the database?

Regards,

I have removed NLS Env variable, but problem persists.

other applications view data’s fine (PLSQLDEVELOPER and HORA).
