SPSS Connect ODBC drivers, double-byte and Oracle - If you want to access data from an Oracle database that has double-byte characters, do not use the Oracle Wire Protocol driver. Instead use the Oracle driver.
Save can lose all cases - Under rare conditions, SPSS can lose data when you save a file. You may be able to work around the problem by noting when SPSS issues warning that all cases have been removed. If you haven't removed all cases and you get that warning, please take the following precaution, even if cases still appear in the Data Editor. Exit SPSS without saving the data file.
