Well I don't want to dig this up but :
both db_connect AND db_pconnect method of oci8_driver missed 4th parameter (charset) and if you are using Oracle 9.2+ you MUST set charset to something sensible so here is my 2 cents
edit
CI_root/database/drivers/oci8/oci8_drive.php
around line 73 change this:
Code:
return @ocilogon($this->username, $this->password, $this->hostname);
to this
Code:
return @ocilogon($this->username, $this->password, $this->hostname, $this->char_set);
and the same for db_pconnect method
Now you can set your NLS lang under
CI_root/config/database.php
something like this for utf8
Code:
$db['default']['char_set'] = "al32utf8";
