PL/SQL :: Unicode Decoder
Jul 19, 2012let me know if there is a function in PL/SQL to convert the unicode code to it's character, I have unicode code returned for example '%C3%A9' and would like the function to return 'é'.

View 7 RepliesI need to configure character set for my database. I have 2 options:
AL16UTF16 - require 2 bytes per character (fixed length)
UTF8 - character length - 1 until 4 bytes. (variable length)
until here ok...
The AL16UTF16 certainly will occupy more space than UTF8. So my question is, When would I need use AL16UTF16 character set mode?
I hear one time, when a database write many values with the same length. it does it in the same HD cylinder. So the HD arm could with a single movement read all the fields in cylinder completely. Improving the read/write performance.
I have a varchar field in a table. When I store the following string, some undefined character is storing.
String to be stored: Test String
String actually stored: Test ¿ string
Please note that here '' is not Hyphen. It is a special character that msword has. when you copy this and paste in a word document you find the difference.
I have listed the character set for CHAR and NCHAR from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_CHARACTERSET - WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET - AL16UTF16
My database 11G having Nls_characterset WE8MSWIN1252, I want to store some hard coded unicode values that is in arbaic words in NVARCHAR2 Column using sql query like
insert into mytable
select 'unicode values' from dual ;
But it does not store them properly ,
I am using 10g Database and 10g forms/reports on Windows.
NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8 for both database and forms/reports. I set this from REGEDIT.
I want to use, Arial Unicode Ms or Mangal font to add or view the data in MARATHI (Regional).In the database browser, I can see the ported data properly with these two fonts, but through form if I try to add then it not showing proper characters, it showing squraes instead of typed characters.
I also typed a label in the form, at design time it showing proper word, but at runtime it not showing proper letters. This I observed only for joined characters.If I generates the report in PDF, format then it not showing data properly. but in runtime it showing properly.
How to write code in unicode/utf8 and used non-english variable written in different cases?The compiler is supposed to be case-insensitive. I just wonder how it handles case insensitivity for unicode or ut8 encoding.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to convert my database characterset from WE8MSWIN1252 from any UNICODE, because i have to transportable tablespace to the destination, the destination is unicode and source is WE8MSWIN1252. While importing transportable tablespace i was not able to do because of this reason, so i want to convert lets say source from WE8MSWIN1252 to unicode.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow can I convert incorrectly imported data into it's proper unicode format.
example:
FULL_NAME
GöRAN JOHANSSON
GÖRAN JOHANSSON
The first record is incorrectly imported and the second is how it should be looking like, if it has been properly imported.
NLS parameters are:
NLS_CHARACTERSET: WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET: AL16UTF16
In the example above, full_name is of a NVARCHAR2(100) type but the same problem applies to columns with VARCHAR2 type.
Is there a function or a peace of code I could use to convert value of the first record to be look alike of the second record?
