Globalization :: Spool Brazilian Characters To A File
Jun 6, 2013
Oracle version Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production running on CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final), kernel 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64.
I am having a hard time spooling a file and displaying special Brazilian characters, even though I can see them correctly in SQLDeveloper:
LEOPOLDO COUTO DE MAGALHÃES JÚNIOR
Spool:
LEOPOLDO COUTO DE MAGALH?ES JUNIOR
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.
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 '?'.
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]...
How to spool the Japanese characters in table using UTL_FILE. I tried with utl_file.fopen it's general,it's spooling. but i am not sure it this right way or not. in this case we need to change any character.
We can't see this characters in TOAD. Only possible in PLSQL developer
I am using something like below , the query runs fine in oracle SQL developer.But I would like to generate a text file by running the script, so I added the Spool command, and those settings,
I tried to run it in SQL developer or SQLplus, they both fail.In SQL developer: I got: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended00933. 00000 - "SQL command not properly ended"*Cause: *Action:Error at Line: 16 Column: 1,542In SQLPlus, but I got an error: SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "CteRace As..." - rest of line ignored.it seems it doesn't understand the common expression table. -- SQL code below:set heading offset feedback offset newpage noneset echo offset termout
I use sqplus in oracle to output the command output to text file .
I use below set environment variable.
SQL> set echo off; SQL> set linesize 3999; SQL> set feedback off; SQL> set feedback off; SQL> set termout off; SQL> set pagesize 0; SQL> spool mapping.txt select C_SIM_MSISDN,C_SIM_IMSI from RCA_SMART_CARD order by C_SIM_MSISDN;
In ouput file , it look like
SQL> select C_SIM_MSISDN,C_SIM_IMSI from RCA_SMART_CARD order by C_SIM_MSISDN; 060010007 10007 : : : SQL> spool off;
any setting or command that allow me to remove the first sql command line" SQL>select XXXX" and the last command "SQL>spool off" after start up the "spool mapping.txt"
To add application name in a spool file, I am using the below way.
sqlplus username/pwd@tns @xyz.sql APP0115
SQL> define appname="'&1'" Enter value for 1: APP0115 SQL> prompt &appname 'APP0115' SQL> spool &appname._html_jobs.csv; SP2-0768: Illegal SPOOL command Usage: SPOOL { <file> | OFF | OUT } where <file> is file_name[.ext] [CRE[ATE]|REP[LACE]|APP[END]]
But I am getting the above error in the spool file clause because of single quote printing infront of the spool file. But the method of defining a character is "'&1'". So I cannot avoid this single quote in the define clause.
'APP0115'
print the appname like APP0115 instead 'APP0115'.then only I can use this in the spool file clause?
I'm running a sql file in Unix (using SQLPLUS command) and i want the file output to be sent to local windows directory. I specified the windows directory name in my Spool command (Spool C:/<Directory Name> ) , But it is not working
Our Unix server is a FTP server but i don't want to FTP the spool file from unix to Windows as the spool file is Huge and it takes hours for the transfer to complete (and we have to run the script multiple times).
Is there a way i can have the spool file created in Local windows directory when i run my sql script in Unix?
I am calling a stored procedure from a shell script. This stored procedure is having a CLOB object as an OUT parameter. How to write the data in CLOB object a existing file which is there in my client system. Below is the shell and sql scripts.
Shell script ( echo "hello" ) > /root/file.txt sqlplus -s $user/$pass@$tns @/root/proc.sql /root/file.txt << EOF EOFSQL script set pages 0 set trimspool off
[Code]...
spool offThis code writes contents of the OUT variable to file.txt, but my existing data ('hello') is lost.
I figured the it...Use append in the spool command...
how to create a file in a folder based on todays date. i need to know how to define a variable in sqlplus and assign a value to it.Here is the code below. The code gets executed without creating a spool file.
DEFINE _DATE = replace('C:\_sysdate_EU001.csv', '_sysdate_', TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY')) spool _DATE set serveroutput on size 100000 select * from dual; spool off
I use sqplus in oracle to output the command output to text file .
I use below set environment varialble.

I would like to spool a clob column to a flag file, however some of the clob are greater than 32k, and I have to have the same record in a single line in the file. Is there any way to achieve this through spooling?
set heading off set feedback off set term off set long 1000000 set longchunksize 500000 set line 32767 set trimspool on set pagesize 50000 spool file.txt @--this is my select statement. spool off exit
I would like to store my sql query output into text file.Like for example:
select name from emp where emp_id=101; Here output should be in text file as swapna.
I dont want to use spool statement here,since If I use it,spool statement will also be printed in text file which is not my requirement.I just want to take only output.

I am trying to write the Turkey character stored in the table in VARCHAR2 to Unix file. But when the text is written to the unix, the characters are coming as junk.
The output of the file it is writing is as below after the execution
Instead I expect the chararecter to be as "Fiş İçe Aktarma Oluşturuldu Header" which when converted to English will show as "Created Import Plug Header".
DROP TABLE TEST_JUNK_CHAR / CREATE TABLE TEST_JUNK_CHAR (primary_description VARCHAR2(400)) / INSERT INTO TEST_JUNK_CHAR VALUES('Fiş İçe Aktarma Oluşturuldu Header')
i use oracle reports6i Report Builder 6.0.8.27.0i previewer reports File>>Generate to File>>PDF then i save the reports as pdf .When i open then pdf file Turkish characters are not good.For exp. (ş=þ ,İ=Ý)
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?
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?
I have a strange problem with query with like and %.
When I run this script:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT = 'BINARY_CI'; ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP = 'LINGUISTIC'; -- SELECT * FROM NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS; -- drop table test1; CREATE TABLE TEST1(K1 NVARCHAR2(80));
[code]....
When i change datatype to varchar2 this code work correct.
The execution plan:
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SQL_ID d3d64aupz4bb5, child number 2 ------------------------------------- select * from TEST1 where k1 like N'Ł%'
[code]....
Note - dynamic sampling used for this statement (level=2)
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)
The DB-NLS-Parameters are: SQL> select * from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS; PARAMETER VALUE ------------------------------ -------------------------- NLS_LANGUAGE GERMAN NLS_TERRITORY GERMANY
[code]...
I consume Service with that skript:
DECLARE l_http_request UTL_HTTP.req; l_http_response UTL_HTTP.resp; l_buffer_size NUMBER (10) := 512; l_line_size NUMBER (10) := 50; l_lines_count NUMBER (10) := 20;
[code]....
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
