I have a XML file which contains Japanese characters and it is parsed by a UNIX script and nawk utility and writes the data to a flat file separated by delimiter. I could the Japanese characters proper in the flat file.
I use SQLoader (within a unix script) to import this data from the flat file to Oracle database. If I view the data in the database through Toad, the Japanese characters are showing differently (not as in XML or in flat file).
But if do a export for the particular table to a flat file through Toad, I can see the Japanese characters proper in the exported flat file.
(Note : I have set the env variables NLS_LANG=Japanese_Japan.JA16SJIS, LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8" in both XML parser and the loader script)
Why I couln't see the Japanese characters while viewing through Toad.
We have to get some data from U98 (saixdbU98) in UTF-8 format in Excel sheet.We are having queries ready for this. These queries bring data which have Japanese characters.
But when we run the Select queries through pbrun (Power Broker) then in result Japanese chars are garbled. It comes in what process we have to follow to get the result in UTF-8 format in Excel sheet.
here is the code -- set sqlblanklines on; SET DEFINE OFF; set linesize 1000 set long 1000000 set pages 50000

I have a table having data in different languages like English, Japanese and Chinese. I need to retrieve only those rows which are in Japanese. What all settings do I need to make. When am doing a normal select, rows in languages other than English are appearing as Junk data.
I have TOAD Version 10.5.1.3, and i want to see the Japanese font, for that i tried changing view->toad options->display->Fonts to "Arial Unicode MS" and selected Script as "Japanese" and click on Apply and OK. But the Script option is automatically changed to "Western" ( not to "Japanese").
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?
I have an oracle code that is using Oracle External table to load a file.The issue: the column within the files have NA within them which needs to be skipped. Mentioned the code below -
How to represent special characters in oracle reports. i have a field which takes some data in varchar format in this i used some special symbol its fine when store it into the database but when i generate report this special symbols are represented by mirror of ?
In current form, i use *pll file to pass Global.<variable name> to the form *.fmb
The problem is that if i copy a string of 4000 characters (which i need to) to Global.<variable name>, it will automatically cut a whole chunk to shorter string (less than 1000).
Is there a better way to that Global.<variable name> can hold 4000 characters?
We are getting problem with the Chinese character set. My current character set is as follows.

My column description for the table product is as follows.
when trying to insert Chinese character using the insert command below
insert into product(part_nbr,part_desc,cust_name) values('322341',unistr('功'),'test');
I am getting the value when selecting the same record using the select command
select a.part_nbr,a.part_desc,a.cust_name from product a where a.part_nbr='322341'322341¿test
When I running this command on TOAD
select a.rowid,a.part_nbr,a.part_desc,a.cust_name from product a where a.part_nbr='322341'
and manually editing/inserting '功' character in output from select command above. After that I am able to get the same Chinese character when I am running select next time.
I have developed one rdf in Text Output Format.In this some special characters is coming for Text Output format of rdf.Shall i do any adjustments in layout? How to remove these special characters?
I have set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS to ',.' but somehow during my java application life-cycle it got changed to '.,'! Is there any way to find what causes this? I can't find what or who change it. I have ordinary Java app which connects to Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 DB and as far as I know NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS is not set explicitly or any other NLS_XXX setting. Is there any way to look in some logs for this?
Here's an odd problem. I'm trying to load German characters positionally (not CSV) using Linux 10g. I don't get this error on Windows or via CSV, but I'm bound to the method and platform.
The problem is simplified thus. I have 2 columns, the 1st varchar2(8) and the 2nd a numeric(3). The error I'm getting is Invalid number only on rows with special characters. Let me demonstrate.
The file has been loaded into Linux and corrected using iconv.
The 1st rows is accepted, but the second fails in sqlldr with
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table TEMP1, column FLD2. ORA-01722: invalid number
The logical assumption is that the double width character is not being properly read by sqlldr but I can find no advice on other setting. My nls parameters look like this.
PARAMETER VALUE ------------------------------ ------------------------------ NLS_LANGUAGE ENGLISH NLS_TERRITORY UNITED KINGDOM NLS_CURRENCY # NLS_ISO_CURRENCY UNITED KINGDOM NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ., NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE ENGLISH NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 NLS_SORT BINARY NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH24.MI.SSXFF

I have one column name party_name containing Korean Characters and English characters.Some of the English characters have different symbols.My requirement is to get the data and exclude those symbols but not Korean characters.
Already I used a function to replace special symbols with space.The function contains code based on ASCII values it works good but it filters Korean characters too.the attachment of the screenshot, When I double click the name it shows with some question mark.
We are using Release 11.2.0.3.0 of Oracle. I am having below special characters inserted into one of my columns, how this value got inserted, (what is the source) i need to track it down.
We dont have any audit trigger on this table to track one level below. As per JAVA guys this is uploaded through a file and the file is having well defined characters and no special characters for this column value also they uploaded the file again but its now going fine with no such special characters. So they put it on DBA's to find how special characters came into database?
Again the editor is not recognising all the characters , so i got the ASCII value for each of the characters in the string, its as below.
String - ‡Mw‹O--ggÑ ÆÔéÓÞ³ µmT¤O ˆÓ`ôiyïÎ!Ž ASCII character is : ‡ ASCII Value Is : 14844065 ASCII character is : ‹ ASCII Value Is : 14844089 ASCII character is : -- ASCII Value Is : 14844052 ASCII character is : ASCII Value Is : 49793 ASCII character is : Ñ ASCII Value Is : 50065

i have to enter pan_no through my form into database, and pan_no format is like BWHPK2334M as first 5 is alphabets then 4 letters and last one is alphabet, how to validate it in my form. can i do this by set fomat mask in property palette and if yes then how, oterwise the 2nd option may be is trigger when validate item, but with which format i should match the entered data.
problem is that when i call run_product to generate a report from a form i have the name of employee in arabic characters appear in wrong form. yet when i use query from forms directly or from reports directly. name appears correct.
i want the arabic charcters to appear correct when i call to show report from a form..
I am doing some ETL that I need to run "faster". The function in which I am interested removes low ascii code characters from a string. Please see the timing below and the definitions of the of the functions below those. I am selecting just the first 100K rows for testing and timing purposes only. In production, we are doing millions of records several times a day, thus the desire for "faster". Selecting with no functions is very fast, 0.2 seconds. We would really really want to convert at least 100K rows per second.
The best I can do is get it down to around five seconds using clear_nonlegal. That is, ironically, the one that I thought would be the slowest. It's making thirty-one calls to REPLACE. I would have guessed that the other two would be much faster. I am guessing that REPLACE is just much better optimized than TRANSLATE and, of course, my homegrown PL/SQL, which isn't optimized at all.
So, my question is thisif there is a way I can optimize my custom function, or maybe know of a better already optimized standard SQL and/or Oracle function that would do the job? I am thinking about trying to use a Java stored procedure, but I have never done that before, I am not currently set up for it, if it would be any faster anyway. Is Java faster with string manipulation the PL/SQL? I am thinking it would be really fast to call a C method,

I am not sure if the problem is related to hidden characters but its my best guess so far. I am trying to enhance a part of the ERD by creating a lookup for a column one of the table that uses text (finite set of values).
CREATE TABLE N_AGREEMENT_STATUS ( STATUS_ID NUMBER(2) PRIMARY KEY, STATUS_NAME VARCHAR2(10 BYTE) ); INSERT ALL INTO N_AGREEMENT_STATUS VALUES (1, 'INACTIVE') INTO N_AGREEMENT_STATUS VALUES (2, 'ACTIVE') INTO N_AGREEMENT_STATUS VALUES (3, 'CLOSED') INTO N_AGREEMENT_STATUS VALUES (4, 'CANCELLED') SELECT * FROM DUAL;
when I try to update the source table no update takes place (0 records updated) if I used the following statement:
ALTER TABLE N_AGREEMENT ADD STATUS_ID NUMBER(2); UPDATE N_AGREEMENT SET STATUS_ID = ( SELECT STATUS_ID FROM N_AGREEMENT_STATUS WHERE N_AGREEMENT.STATUS = STATUS_NAME );
but it works fine only if I used:
UPDATE N_AGREEMENT SET STATUS_ID = ( SELECT STATUS_ID FROM N_AGREEMENT_STATUS WHERE N_AGREEMENT.STATUS LIKE STATUS_NAME || '%' );
The strange thing is that when I use:
SELECT N_AGREEMENT.STATUS, N_AGREEMENT.STATUS_ID FROM N_AGREEMENT WHERE N_AGREEMENT.STATUS = 'ACTIVE';
it returns correct results and all status = 'ACTIVE' appear correctly!
I am working with Oracle 10G, and have been working on setting up little pl/sql checks to make sure that the data that is imported is in the correct format.
The wall I have hit is removing illegal characters from the data I import. I have started to set something up where the string for a certain column must be be made of only there characters:
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-" (note that there is a - besides just letters) and I may want to add some other characters later. So basically the script will drop or replace any character not found in my definitions with "", thus removing the illegal character and joining the previous and next characters.
I thought for sure there would be a script posted somewhere online that did this but I can't find it and my syntax skills are lacking.
