ORA-33425: (EIFMAKEF15) CAUTION: ExportingNTEXT objects using string for

the EIF file character set can cause loss ofdata. To preserve all NTEXT data,

export using the UTF8 character set for theEIF file.

Cause: The user exported an objectwith data type NTEXT, but the EIF file that

will result from the EXPORT command is not written inUnicode. Because no

non-Unicode file can represent all possible Unicode data,it is possible that some

data will be lost when converting from the Unicode NTEXTobject to the EIF file.

The EIF file will be written in the character setindicated by the "nls_charset"

argument of the EXPORT command, or, if no such argumentis present, in the

database character set.

Action: If the user is certain that thecontents of the NTEXT object can be

represented in the specified character set, then noaction is necessary. Otherwise,

the user can add "nls_charset 'UTF8'" to theEXPORT command string. This will

result in the EIF file being written in UTF8 Unicode, whichcan represent all the

data contained in NTEXT objects.
