Does System.Data.OracleClient under MS.NET behave the same way?

Please do not convert back to Encoding.Default. The encoding 
Oracle uses is defined by the environment variable NLS_LANG.
Encoding.Default requires this variable to be set to the right encoding
for the current system. Using the current implementation you 
simply set
	
	NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8

and character conversion works regardless of the encoding the
local system uses. If we want a really clean implementation we have
to choose the encoding for statements and results according to NLS_LANG.

Joerg.
