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.
Just want to confirm, that where Oracle stores data fetched from inline view.
I am asking, as I am making an inline view on a very large table and its getting failed with TEMP space error.
How can we store data in Indian regional languages in Oracle database. We are using Oracle 10g.
Also i need to know can we convert existing data in oracle to local language ?
i need to enter multiple languages data into a table.
i did configuration assistant with nls_charecterset=AL32UTF8
but it didn't store other languages strings like hindi,french,japan...etc
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 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 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.

how to use two languages in form 6i
1.Arabic
2.English
i have created a form and changed prompt setting i made two flag buttons one for english and another for arabic now problem is this that english is working fine but arabic is showing some unusual characters. i have already read some links like globalization but still facing same problem kindlt tell me step by step detail
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

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.
I got a primary database with a logical standby database running Oracle 11g. I got two client applications, one is the production site pointing to the primary one, another one is just a backup site pointing to the logical one.Things will only be written into the primary database every mid night and client applications can only query the database but not add, update nor delete.And now, I want to apply the latest patch on both of my databases. I am also the DNS administrator, I can make the name server pointing to the backup site instead of the production one.I want to firstly apply the patch on the logical one, and then the physical one.
I found some reference which explains how to apply patches by adopting "Rolling Upgrade Method". however, I want to avoid doing any "switch over" mentioned in the reference because I can make use of name server. Can I just apply patches as the following way?
1)Stop SQL apply
2)Apply patches on logical standby database
3)let the name server point to the backup site
4)Apply patches on the primary database
5)Start SQL apply
6)Let the name server point back to the production site

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 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:

NLS_TERRITORY GERMANY

I consume Service with that skript:

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 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

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?
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.
