View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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).

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.
I have requirement to cleanup special character of field. The data which is retrieved from the field and written to text file.
So Here
Ã- should be replaced by i
HÃ-re - I need value Hire(actual value) from the filed.
Ã- this has written into file instead of i
In database i have the following
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET - AL16UTF16
NLS_CHARACTERSET - UTF8
I tried this
select convert('HÃ-re','UTF8') from dual
------------------------
Output: H??re

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.
why the below is not the same?

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.

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.

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?
