Hi. I am having problem with importing csv files containing values in japanese characters. When I do so it will display garbage when I query. my OS is japanese. My encoding for oracle NLS_LANG is JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16SJISTILDE. I don't know what the problem is. When I try to import the very same file in some of my office mates' PC it just works fine

You can try converting the database character set to UTF8 and see if that helps.

Not necessary, a lot of work, potential for characters that cannot be re-encoded.

A: 

assuming you are on a windows client, spool the results of the sql into a flat-file and open the file in notepad. do you see the Japanese characters ?
