I want to convert my database characterset from WE8MSWIN1252 from any UNICODE, because i have to transportable tablespace to the destination, the destination is unicode and source is WE8MSWIN1252. While importing transportable tablespace i was not able to do because of this reason, so i want to convert lets say source from WE8MSWIN1252 to unicode.

How to write code in unicode/utf8 and used non-english variable written in different cases?The compiler is supposed to be case-insensitive. I just wonder how it handles case insensitivity for unicode or ut8 encoding.

how can I convert incorrectly imported data into it's proper unicode format.
example:
FULL_NAME
GöRAN JOHANSSON
GÖRAN JOHANSSON
The first record is incorrectly imported and the second is how it should be looking like, if it has been properly imported.
NLS parameters are:
NLS_CHARACTERSET: WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET: AL16UTF16
In the example above, full_name is of a NVARCHAR2(100) type but the same problem applies to columns with VARCHAR2 type.
Is there a function or a peace of code I could use to convert value of the first record to be look alike of the second record?
the basic salary has data type character.when i write
select basic_salary from table_name
it shows output.but when i need annul for that basic salary(basic_salary*12) it shows error. invalid number.
I want to convert decimal number 44 to character(" ' " i.e single quotation);
I have already tried to_char function but it's not working.

It seems like Previous Developer specified character set "UTF8" statement, in his sql loader script, to load this data. It seem those file contain some Greek language special character data which was not support by "UTF8" charater set and result in creating those invalid data. My Job is to fix these invalid records and convert them back to its original values which were present in the raw file. I tried to contact client and see if i can find out the raw files but no luck. I tried to use convert function as mention to convert this data from "UTF8" to our current character set format but no luck.

Source Database: AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
Target Database: AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
From the source database, the chinese characters are stored in some schema table. From the csscan result, there are convertiable, truncate, data lossy character. So, I have tried to use exp/imp for the conversion. However, all chinese characters are invalided and cannot be read anymore. How can I convert them from US7ASCCI to UTF8 database?
Also, I have tried build up another database with AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHT16MSWIN950. The exp/imp is used for conversion again. The chinese characters are readable in AL32UTF8 database.
- source database (US7ASCII)
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
export LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
exp userid='/ as sysdba' file=export.dmp full=y
- target database (AL32UTF8)
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
export LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
imp userid='/ as sysdba' file=export.dmp full=y ignore=y
Result:
from US7ASCII to AL32UTF8:
the chinese characters cannot be read
from US7ASCII to ZHT16MSWIN950:
the chinese characters cannot be read
from ZHT16MSWIN950 to AL32UTF8:
the chinese characters can be read
How can I convert the chinese character from US7ASCCI to UTF8 database?
I have Arabic data stored into below two encodings in oracle AL32UTF8 database
1 Million rows into WE8MSWIN1252
.5 million rows into AR8MSWIN1256
in all cases I like to convert 1 Million row of WE8MSWIN1252 into AR8MSWIN1256. I could convert the data encoding from 1252 to 1256 using SQLdeveloper. But no luck using oracle export/import utility (both exp and expdp)…. I’m thinking may be certain locale is required for export/import to work.
Also my company said SQL developer is free utility may not be supported by oracle so use export and import for this, I need to convert only one table.

how do we know database character set is either single character set or multi character set?
While changing character-set from AL32UTF8 to WE8MSWIN1252 got "ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set".
Below are steps taken to resolve the issue -
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252;
i got this error: ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set
below are the commands executed by me:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
SQL> CONNECT SYS/password AS SYSDBA;
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET INTERNAL_USE WE8MSWIN1252;
SQL> SHUTDOWN;
SQL> STARTUP;
SQL> QUIT;
And its working...
I have not done it in proper order. Neither have done ccsscan. Still, no user reported any issues. Do my changes truncated the data?
let me know if there is a function in PL/SQL to convert the unicode code to it's character, I have unicode code returned for example '%C3%A9' and would like the function to return 'é'.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to configure character set for my database. I have 2 options:
AL16UTF16 - require 2 bytes per character (fixed length)
UTF8 - character length - 1 until 4 bytes. (variable length)
until here ok...
The AL16UTF16 certainly will occupy more space than UTF8. So my question is, When would I need use AL16UTF16 character set mode?
I hear one time, when a database write many values with the same length. it does it in the same HD cylinder. So the HD arm could with a single movement read all the fields in cylinder completely. Improving the read/write performance.
I have a varchar field in a table. When I store the following string, some undefined character is storing.
String to be stored: Test String
String actually stored: Test ¿ string
Please note that here '' is not Hyphen. It is a special character that msword has. when you copy this and paste in a word document you find the difference.
I have listed the character set for CHAR and NCHAR from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_CHARACTERSET - WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET - AL16UTF16
My database 11G having Nls_characterset WE8MSWIN1252, I want to store some hard coded unicode values that is in arbaic words in NVARCHAR2 Column using sql query like
insert into mytable
select 'unicode values' from dual ;
But it does not store them properly ,
I am using 10g Database and 10g forms/reports on Windows.
NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8 for both database and forms/reports. I set this from REGEDIT.
I want to use, Arial Unicode Ms or Mangal font to add or view the data in MARATHI (Regional).In the database browser, I can see the ported data properly with these two fonts, but through form if I try to add then it not showing proper characters, it showing squraes instead of typed characters.
I also typed a label in the form, at design time it showing proper word, but at runtime it not showing proper letters. This I observed only for joined characters.If I generates the report in PDF, format then it not showing data properly. but in runtime it showing properly.
I have a report that use &totalpages. output PDF, font unicode is error (Mã) but two last page's font is OK (Mã).

I'm trying to insert a character from the extended ascii character set. Specifically, there's a company that has an accented e (�) in the name. Right now, the company name doesn't have the e at all, accent or no accent. So I'm trying to do an update, something like
update table1 set company_name='blah�" where company='blah'
It runs, but doesn't do the update. Even when I try to forcefully do an insert (instead of an update) I get nowhere; the accented is simply dropped. So the basic question is, how do you insert extended ascii characters into oracle?
I have one string 'SWAP_20120224_MEGAMART_MAR_Sales.csv'

I am using C++ OCI LIB, to insert some report data from remote OCI client to oracle 11 server. This data is read by another process to create the report.The DB CHARSET is UTF-8. But the report tool expects the data to be ISO08859-1 encoded. So while inserting the data into the database i specify the following LANG and CHARSET for my table colulmn in client:
The TARGET DB CHARSET is UTF-8
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
size_t csid = 871; // UTF-8
OCIAtrSet((void *) bnd1p, (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_BIND,
*(void *)&csid*,
(ub4) 0,
(ub4)OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID, errhp);
This solution works for almost every case of ASCII and Extended ASCII Charest but we are facing issues if we have few specific characters to be inserted.f we are trying to insert single beta character [β] through client, the data goes empty to the column.
Beta Character details:
DEC OCT HEX BIN Symbol Description
223 337 DF 11011111 ß Latin small letter sharp s - ess-zed
DB Output after insert single β:
select rawtohex(NAME) from PERSONS where EID=333;
RAWTOHEX(NAME)

But if the string is *"ββ"* everything work fine:
DB Output for "ββ":
select rawtohex(NAME) from PERSONS where EID=333;

I have a horrible problem with EBS (actually, all problems with EBS are horrible) and I think I am stuck because of my ignorance of Forms. if I use terms that are not correct in the Forms world. The form consists of a number of named "blocks" and each block consists of a number of named "fields", not all of which are visible. I need to find the source of the data values in one of these fields. I have searched every table for a column of that name, also all the views and stored PL/SQL that I think might be relevant, but I can no find no mention of a column or variable with the same name as the field. The name does not get a hit in the online EBS tech ref manual, and only two ancient and irrelevant hits in MOS.
My question is: What are the possible sources of data for a field in a form? Have I missed any?

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have created Materialized Views for 8 tables of a remote DB ( say DB-Source) to our DB (say DB-1) and created some procedures and the whole setup is working fine.Now, we have another DB (say DB-2) which requires the same 8 table of DB-Source to run similar procedures.
I got a doubt here. All the modifications at DB-Source are captured in MVlogs and when the DB-1 refreshes the MViews, the logs will get cleared. In this scenario, how can the DB-2 uses the same the modified data from DB-Source (if the MVlogs are cleared by the refresh of DB-1)?
I jsut want to know whether one source of tables with MVlogs can cater it services to two DBs with the same modified information.
