OTL 4.0, Example 285 (Simple Unicode Insert/Select for both VARCHAR2 and NVARCHAR2 at the same time)

Example 285 (Simple Unicode Insert/Select for both VARCHAR2 and NVARCHAR2 at the same time)

This example demonstrates a simple Unicode INSERT, SELECT for both VARCHAR and NVARCHAR2 at the same time.
