      In an attempt to work around the character code issue (when trying to connect FishEye/Crucible to Oracle, character set must be UTF8) is it maybe possible to have FishEye to convert the character set (whatever this is) on the fly to UTF8?

      Mind you, "character conversion" is not the same as a "character set". Character conversion is the translation from one character set (e.g., UTF-16) to another character set (e.g., UTF-8).
      The figure http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch2charset.htm#i1007338 illustrates a case where the database is using one character set, and the clients are using various other character sets with character conversion done somewhere along the way between the clients and the server.
      I was wondering if such translation was possible with FishEye, so that FishEye would work even when the database is not using UTF-8.

            Hi,

            After investigating this improvement request we decided not to implement it. The complexity of this task would require a significant investment that would prevent other tasks to be done.

            We believe that it will be best to look into other areas that can benefit all users of FishEye.

            Regards,

            How big is this problem, asridhar ?

            Also - how do other Atlassian products deal with this ?
