I have created a procedure which sends e-mail using UTL_SMTP. The procedure has a part in which we add the attachments to e-mail. Now , the issue is when i am adding an attachment which contains multibyte characters , these characters are replaced with '?'.
View 6 RepliesHere's an odd problem. I'm trying to load German characters positionally (not CSV) using Linux 10g. I don't get this error on Windows or via CSV, but I'm bound to the method and platform.
The problem is simplified thus. I have 2 columns, the 1st varchar2(8) and the 2nd a numeric(3). The error I'm getting is Invalid number only on rows with special characters. Let me demonstrate.
The file has been loaded into Linux and corrected using iconv.
[oracle@basic sqlldr]$ cat jh.txt
ELEKTROM001
ZEIPR�SI002
This is the loader control file
[oracle@basic sqlldr]$ cat jh.ctl
load data
characterset utf8
infile 'jh.txt'
replace into table TEMP1
(
FLD1 POSITION(1:8) CHAR,
FLD2 POSITION(9:11)
)
The 1st rows is accepted, but the second fails in sqlldr with
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table TEMP1, column FLD2.
ORA-01722: invalid number
The logical assumption is that the double width character is not being properly read by sqlldr but I can find no advice on other setting.
My nls parameters look like this.

I've tried changing the NLS_LANG at the session level, but that cannot be done. I don't want to change the default language of my DB, but really need these characters to display correctly in a file.
Getting below error while select statement execution. I have searched in google and oracle But didn't find satisfication answer. how to resolve this issue on database level.

Error: ORA-29275: partial multibyte character
I'm trying to
select name from test1@remote;and hit ORA-29275: partial multibyte character. I also tried
select CONVERT(name,'AL32UTF8','UTF8') from test1@remote;and
select UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(name) from test1@remote;but still hitting the same error.
My database is Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production.
I am getting "ORA-29275: partial multibyte character" error when I try to read records from a table.
How can I identify the effected record(s) and how can I fix the data in the effected record(s)?
I have multibyte CSV files (extract from BI) : Excel says "Unicode txt" and when I save them from Excel in "Text CSV", they get half the size on the disk.
here is the piece of code where the uploaded file get converted from blob to clob then to varchar2 (CSV Util from Oleg.Lihvoinen [URL]...
SELECT blob_content
INTO v_blob_data
FROM wwv_flow_files
WHERE NAME = p_file_name;
[code]...
I have tried different values for "blob_csid := 873 ;" (and by the way, the list of possible values for this code is very difficult to find : I know, there is a function CS_name to CS_ID but a list would be great), but without any visible effect.If I use the Apex CSV uploader app, the result is the same than with this code.
is an example :
�O�R�A�C�L�E�
instead of :
ORACLE
How I can have these files imported whithout an Excel conversion ?
create table test
(
name varchar2(50),
descd varchar2(50)
)
insert into test values ('kethlin','da,dad!tyerx');
insert into test values ('tauwatson','#$dfegr');
insert into test values ('jennybrown','fsa!!trtw$ fda');
insert into test values ('tauwatson','#$dfegr ,try');
how do I get the first three characters and last three characters from name field and remove all the junk characters from descd field?
so my o/p be like;
Quote:('ketlin','dadadtyerx')
('tauson','dfegr')
('jenown','fsatrtw fda')
('tauson','dfegr try')
We have production DB 10g with character set US7ASCII. This DB stores Arabic data and English data.Production DB located in HP unix Operating System.
When I query data from DB through SQL developer data is shown as Junk or Unknown characters(Square Boxes).
Client (Workstation from where query is issued from SQL develope- Windows XP OS) Settings: NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
In Client workstation Oracle 10g client is installed from where I used to query data through SQL developer. The problem is I am unable to see Arabic characters in the sense that it is displayed as Junk character. However English characters and Eneglish numeric values are displayed properly.
I tried below way to make sure that data is not corrupted: Converted "Name" column to hex value (rawtohex) and displayed its HEX value. Executed below query in UTF-8 DB.
select UTL_I18N.RAW_TO_CHAR(hex_value_of-name) from dual;
This displayed Arabic name properly in UTF8 DB.
Character set for this production DB can not be changed at this time. There are many applications which is based on this DB. All these applications are well capable of converting Junk data to Arabic to display in application.
My concern is: What I should required to do to view Arabic data properly through SQL developer? Is there any settings needs to be done at my client workstation?
I am using oracle 10 g database on windows xp. I have backup of data contains data in local language (Marathi). I want read this data in oracle itself.Which character set need to choose?

IMPDP-ing a dump file that someone has handed me over into Oracle XE results in special characters, i.e. Umlauts, being messed up.
In a hex editor, the dump file shows a) the token WE8MSWIN1252 near the beginning, but b) Umlauts obviously being encoded in DOS 850, for example "König" is encoded as 4b 94(!) 6e 69 67. Does this prove that the dump file is badly formatted and that I have to resign myself to the complicated approach mentioned at the end of [URL]...
I read and tried a lot, but I can't consume a UTF-8-Webservice correct in a 11gR2-DB: German "Umlaute" like ü are displayed/written as ü.
The service sends all correct. (tested with soap-ui 4.5.1)

l_lines_count NUMBER (10) := 20;

What can I do, to get the response correct in NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252.I think, it must be possible to convert the response, but I didn't found the correct solution.And I don't understand, why the body_charset is ever "ISO-8859-1" (commented in procedure). Settings utl_http.body_charset is without effect.
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.

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 a table. It's name is INSTITUTION. It has a NUMBER INS_ID and NVARCHAR2(50) INS_NAME . INS_NAME can contain Turkish characters, such as "ğ,ü,ş,ç,ö". According to business logic, there can not be a repetition on the INS_NAME.User will enter institution name from a textbox in ASP.NET , and I check this name in database from c sharp code, if there is no repetition, we will add this record.
The problem is; when user enter a instition name that contains Turkish character, there is a duplication. If there is a instition name is *"su işleri"* , the both query; SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION WHERE INS_NAME = *'su işleri'*; and SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION WHERE INS_NAME = *'su isleri'*; returns no result, even though there it is.But if instition name is "oracle corporation" (there is no Turkish character) it query successfully. I have the same problem in Toad for Oracle 11.5.1.2. When I query database from toad SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION, the phrase *"su işleri"* has appeared. But when I query SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION WHERE INS_NAME = *'su işleri'*; , there is again no result.When I connect oracle database directly and perform the query SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION , the phrase *"su isleri"* (not *"su işleri"* ) has appeared.
Here are the language settings of the database:

How to avoid Junk character insertion in oracle table. I have prepared scripts like this Say
customer - info
After insertion the data is inserted like below in production
Customer ¿ info
We are using command prompt for script execution in production environment. I am using PLSQL developer and SQL developer for development. i cannot see junk data in PLSQL developer and latest SQL developer , but its caught in old version of SQL developer. Also in Application also i can able to figure out junk data.
it is possible to have a oracle database that stores data in different languages.
I have gone through few blogs which says Oracle supports Unicode characters & UTF8 supports all languages including multi-byte.
I would like to know what are the languages supported by oracle 10G.
We have an existing db (10.2.0.4.0) and forms (11.1.2.1.0) application, that we're trying to extend to support Chinese characters. We're looking to add some unicode (nvarchar2) columns to existing tables, rather than converting the whole db charset. I've pasted my environment settings below. What I've found so far in trying to create a local (ie. running the form in Builder with local weblogic running) test form, is that I can insert the chars ok (using plsql developer) and the test form can display them correctly, but cannot write them back to the database. They appear as upside down question marks in any records the form has created.
Env variables:NLS_LANG = .UTF8 Database:NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16 1)
So, how to get the form to write the characters back into the database correctly? 2) The chinese chars will only be relevant to a few forms inside the app, are there any settings local to the form that will enable unicode support, rather than setting at OS level. ie, an alter session, or equivalent? 3) Oracle Reprts doesn't appear to have an nchar datatype unlike Forms, is there anyway to get Reports (generating PDFs), to include Chinese?
I now have the chars writing back to the db ok. If you do it via an INSERT statement from inside the form, it doesn't work. It appears the value is sent to the db in the normal charset rather than the national charset, and it's written as a question mark. If you pass the value from the form into a back end stored proc though (which does the insert) it works okay.
I have a database in my local machine that doesn't support Turkish characters. My NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P1, It must be changed to WE8ISO8859P9 , since it supports full Turkish characters. I would like to migrate character data using a full export and import and my strategy is as follows:
1- create a full export to a location in network,
2- create a new database in local machine that it's NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P9 (I would like to change NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY by the way)
3- and implement full import to newly created database. I 've implemented first step, but I couldn't implement the second step. I 've created the second step by using toad editor by clicking Create -> New Database but I can not connect the new database. I must connect new database in order to perform full import.

FETCH a_variable INTO ResultCount;
EXIT
WHEN My_cursor % NOTFOUND ;

I am using for writing text files data to database. The problem here is let us assume there are 6 records in text file and if there is a problem at 2nd record, the later records are not getting inserted.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC1
IS
temp varchar2(500);
tmp_name varchar2(5);
tmp_no varchar2(4);
.
BEGIN
WHILE NOT end_of_file
LOOP
IF i = 18 THEN
tmp_no := temp;
END IF;
IF i = 21 THEN
tmp_name := temp;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
/If i=18 and temp = '12345' here, then tmp_no := temp; won't work (tmp_no varchar2(4);)
Similarly, If i=21 and temp = 'ABCDEFG' here, then tmp_name := temp; won't work (tmp_name varchar2(5));
how to handle this through EXCEPTIONS so that even if there is a problem with 1 record, while loop remain working for further records..
I'd like to achieve the following (and YES, I do know that this is not multi-user safe, but that's not the point here):
Before inserting a record, the trigger shall check if there's already a duplicate one. Duplicate means in this case when there is an intersection of the time frame, defined by two numeric timestamps. That's also the cause why I cannot use a simple UNIQUE constraint here (in my opinion).
Okay, that already works (see code below). But now I need colliding records to be written to a temporary table so that those records can be returned and presented to the user for selection.

Basically I've created a function, when I run it there is a user input. Mine is a customer number between 1-10.
I was wondering is there a way to add in error check so if I typed in an invalid number it would give me a message saying "Wrong customer_number" or something along the lines of that?
I was told I wasn't able to use "DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE" in the function I need to tamper with the function header?
Here is my header -
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION hours (custid customer.cust_id%TYPE)
RETURN NUMBER IS
multiply NUMBER;

I have a set of 500 insert queries which i need to execute. I have included exception handler to catch any errors encountered. I don't want the execution to halt when an exception is encountered, i want the next insert statement to be executed
I am pasting the sample code below
DECLARE
error_code NUMBER := SQLCODE;
error_msg VARCHAR2 (300) := SQLERRM;
BEGIN
INSERT statement 1
INSERT statement 2.....
....................
INSERT statement 500.....
commit;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
IF (SQLCODE != 0) THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(SQLERRM);
END IF;
END;
For example if insert statement 100 fails the exception should be caught and execution should pass to 101 statement.
