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.
My requiremnt is that a field must contain on Alpha number value, no specail character allowed, how can we sure by query that string which is going to commit is alphanumeric.
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.
Still today user can enter any special character value in stud_name like L'Pradhan . I want to put a restriction on stud_name so that user can enter only alphabetical value into stud_name column.
This is the cursor which fetches from View uk_case_recommends_vw and this view calls the table ukcc_case_casenames below is the query
cursor cur_case_name_search is select a.*,DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY sc desc) rank from uk_case_recommends_vw a where rownum < 2 + 3; SELECT /*+first_rows(4) index(u ukcc_case_casename_idx)*/ persistentid, casename, FROM ukcc_case_casenames
Here in this table my case name may be with special character or normal .
For Ex ('R V Wilson') - With Special character ('R V Wilson') - Without Special character
Actually my cursor is not fetching with special character ..neither it is not mentioning as no data found. Find the piece of code below.. I am not getting values after opening the cursor.
open cur_case_name_search; loop fetch cur_case_name_search into v_case_name_row; exit when cur_case_name_search%notfound or v_case_name_row.rank > v_matchingvalue or [code]......
i want to store special characters in database. i have tried following but not succeed. how to store and retrieve it. Herewith i'm posting my try.I want to store and retrieve following character.
We need to maintain the day 0 value of special character "ÿÿ" for application. If i use the special character directly in sql file , it is getting inserted as junk character "?"
If i use workaround by using chr(255) function i am getting below behavior.
select chr(255) from dual --------------------------- ÿ
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';

I have a file which i am loading , the last column is being loaded with special character which looks like sqare shape character for all the rows.How can i prevent it to load as it is not present in the file
data in file
Department|2|Tranport for London|Rail & Underground|ER|ER|ER|ER|ER|ER|555555555|Owner 8|8
the data once loaded for the last column on which is for above example last column value 8 will be loaded with 8 and square share character.
"SELECT xmltype(RCATT).extract('/JASON/RCA/SUB_PROBLEM_TYPE').getStringVal() as SPT, xmltype(RCATT).extract('/JASON/RCA/SUB_ROOT_CAUSE').getStringVal() as SRC, xmltype(RCATTT).extract('/JASON/RCA/ELABORATION').getStringVal() as ELA, xmltype(RCATT).extract('/JASON/RCA/PREVENTION').getStringVal() as PRE FROM table"
Above is my select statement
some explanation: the above select statement is to select the child node inside the xml content. But the child note contains some special character "<>" that illegally in xml.
Below is my xml content for the node of sub_problem_type
<JASON> <RCA> <SUB_PROBLEM_TYPE> For <FS_PLS_WAIT>, it is appeared in both valid and invalid password entered case but in requirement, only valid case has stated the display of <FS_PLS_WAIT>. This is the legacy radio behavior. </SUB_PROBLEM_TYPE> </RCA> </JASOn>
The result will generate the following issue.
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00225: end-element tag "ELABORATION" does not match start-element tag "FS_PLS_WAIT" Error at line 10 ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 301 ORA-06512: at line 1
I wish to know where can i by pass the checking for special character.

There is table (VIN_TEMP) in my company database containing following records. It seems like this table should contain some greek language special chracter values instead of this weird data.
Client are reporting these records as invalid and requesting us to fix. As i investigated i found out, this table was created and loaded few year back. Client sent us one time files which we loaded into this table. I was able to find the code which was actually used to load this table, but unfortunately i was not able to find the raw files where we load this data from...
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.
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 a Oracle 11g database, but it does not support UTF8 character set. Now we have received a file which contains records with Trade Mark symbol (special character). Now when we are trying to load the record, it is getting loaded with a sign "?". As a result when we try to display record in web application, the application is not able to show the records properly.
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 dont know why, but my PL SQL Developer keeps changing special character as "ã", or "ç", to "?". And As I use these letters because of my language, I need a way to solve this thing.
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?
How to calculate exact age for example my date of birth is 10-04-1972 and today current date is 21-10-2011 so i want to calculate age how many years, how many months and how many days.
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 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;
