1、原因：

ORA-12737: Instant Client Light: unsupported server character set CHS16GBK 

Google，解释例如以下：

ORA-12737:

Instant Client Light: unsupported server character set string

Cause:     The character set specified is not allowed for this operation or is invalid. Instant Client Light has only minimal character sets.

Action:     Do not use Instant Client Light for this character set





2、首先，我们打开“tools”-->"options"菜单，见到例如以下界面。根据OCI library(oci.dll) 路径，导航到 navicat oci 文件夹下，备份里面的文件（通过在该文件夹新建bak文件夹，将“%dir%/Navicat
Lite\instantclient_10_2”路径下的全部dll文件剪切到bak目录）。

3、在oracle client安装文件夹bin/文件夹下，找到例如以下几个.dll文件

4、将上面所列文件放置到“%dir%/Navicat Lite\instantclient_10_2” 文件夹下，又一次启动navcat就可以。
