Globalization :: SQL Loader Loads Special Character Incorrectly
May 31, 2013
We are trying to load some xml files via
sqlldr user/pswd@xe control='C:xmlldr.ctl' data='listoffiles.dat'
where xmlldr.ctl is the following:
load data
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
replace
into table LOADER_CTG_PROTOCOL
(
xmlfile lobfile(nct_code) terminated by eof,
nct_code char(15) "substr(:nct_code,1,11)",
created_dt sysdate
)
I was playing with different CHARACTERSET, but some special characters e.g. "greater than or equal" do not get loaded/displayed correctly in the database. Also tried changing NLS_LANG registry key and following some advices in the Oracle doc

We have migrated the database from Oracle 10.1.0.3 to 10.2.0.5 by using conventional export and import. (OS - HP.Uinx).,After the migration some characters (like é or à or è) have not been migrated correctly.
how to validate this characters after migration?
Note:
All NLS parameters are same in both source and target database

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;
RAWTOHEX(NAME)
---------------------------
DFDF

The SQL loader somehow is loading only first record. The data file is a csv and the end of line character is a new line. Some text fields have multiple new lines.
Here is my control file
load data
infile '/home/devo/c0397105/RuleImport/testLoad/dummyLoad.csv'
Truncate
into table DUMMY_LOAD_TABLE
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
( ID "to_number(:ID)",REQUESTED_GROUP,PURPOSE,COMMENTS)

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?

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 am having a similar problem like above ONLY in UNIX box where my datafile is delimited by "|". The last field is ITM_CMNT declared as VARCHAR2(60) in Oracle. When I have exactly 60bytes in the last field it rejects the record saying actual 61 and max allowed is 60. If i reduce it to < 60bytes then it is stored as a value enclosed with double quotes. The enclosing double quote is on the next line.
"PROC,RAM,FLPY,HD,ACT MTX CLR DSP,D/PCMCIA,TRKBAL,LIT ION BA"
Expected: the one below is exactly 60bytes.
PROC,RAM,FLPY,HD,ACT MTX CLR DSP,D/PCMCIA,TRKBAL,LIT ION BAT

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:
National Language Support
National Language Parameter Value
NLS_CALENDAR______________GREGORIAN
NLS_CHARACTERSET__________WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_COMP__________________BINARY
NLS_CURRENCY______________TL
NLS_DATE_FORMAT__________DD/MM/RRRR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE________TURKISH
NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY_________YTL

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.

I am using Release 10.2.0.1.0 version of oracle. I am getting a special character, but i suspect it as any other language character.
Its appearing in my 'TOAD editor/Sql prompt editor' as 'A?'. but when i am selecting it from the table using below query, its giving 'No rows Returned'.
select id from tab1 where id like 'A%';
How can i be able to see the exact character or which editor will enable me to see the character?
I think sql developer GUI might be able to show the same but i dont have sql developer with me.

I have a pl/sql question about interpreting special characters in pl/sql. I am generating an update statement and get an invalid character when the customer name has an ampersand in it (&). I�m now generating the update statement to include the customer name cut up with concatenation characters surrounding the ampersand, for example �CSCP-C�||�&�||�E�. However, pl/sql is still not executing the update.
Here is the code.
SET PAGES 2000;
SET LINES 200;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SET VERIFY OFF;
spool update_table.log ;
[code]....
The RESULTS follow. Of course, I can copy this statement and execute in sqlplus without a problem.

A database containing inventory data has been migrated from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g. I have access to both the Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g database on different client computers. Both databases use the same character set, WE9MSWIN1252 (query shown below). However the results from the sql SELECT show incorrectly displayed characters. I would like the "1/2" character and degree character to show in the text. The ASCIISTR function shows that the underlying ascii is the same in the two copies of the databases.
Is there a setting that needs to be changed in Oracle 11g so that the saved special characters in the database show correctly (as in Oracle 10).
Query of database character set
SQL> Select value from SYS.NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS where PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'
WE8MSWIN1252
Under Oracle 11g, this is a query on DSI using SQLPLUS 11.2.0.1.0.
SQL> select description from part where id = '57234';
