SQL & PL/SQL :: Characters Format On The Web?
Jul 10, 2011
We have a production database that have : NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1.
We use (INSERT, UPDATE) arabic and french languages, and it works properly.
When I issue SQL statments to retrieve arabic data (with SQL*PLUS), it works and it returns correct arabic format.
When I use PHP, with the same small query, the arabic format is not correct.
I've tried changing the encoding characters on my browsers (IE and FF) and it's still incorrect.

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?

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.

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.
[oracle@basic sqlldr]$ cat jh.txt
ELEKTROM001
ZEIPR�SI002
This is the loader control file
[oracle@basic sqlldr]$ cat jh.ctl
load data
characterset utf8
infile 'jh.txt'
replace into table TEMP1
(
FLD1 POSITION(1:8) CHAR,
FLD2 POSITION(9:11)
)
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
PARAMETER VALUE

NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH24.MI.SSXFF
NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH24.MI.SSXFF TZR

NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY ?
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8
NLS_COMP BINARY
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS CHAR
NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP FALSE
I've tried using other sqlldr options such as LENGTH SYMANTICS and BYTEORDER but with no success.

I need to give validation for not allowing french or arabic or hindi alphabets or numbers except for only english alphanumeric letters.
I understood how to restrict special characters or spaces .
regexp_instr(i, '[^[:alnum:]]') = 0
This function allow only characters and numbers in English language and doesnt allow special characters.
I need to restrict further by not allowing any other language characters or numbers except only english alphanumeric letters.

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

replace the first 5 commas with the character '|' in the below string:
'Red, White, Blue, Purple, Pink, Green, Yellow, Gold and many others, like Black and Silver'
I tried:
SELECT regexp_replace('Red, White, Blue, Purple, Pink, Green, Yellow, Gold and many others, like Black and Silver',
',','|',1,5) from dual
but it only replaces the 5th comma.

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.

I am using Oracle Version 11.2. Here's an example of what I am trying to do..
-- create table with a clob column
create table sr_test
(c1 CLOB)
-- load data that is more than 4000 characters into clob
declare
var1 varchar2(32000);
begin
var1:= '';
for i in 1..5000 loop
var1:= var1||i||',';
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(var1);
insert into sr_test(c1) values (var1);
end;
-- select table to make sure clob is loaded
select c1, dbms_lob.getlength(c1) from sr_test
-- create procedure to return data from table
create procedure sr_p1(result out sys_refcursor)
is
begin
open result for
select c1 from sr_test;
end;
-- run the procedure to get data
DECLARE
RESULT sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
RESULT := NULL;
ACCOUNTING.SR_P1 ( RESULT );
:rc0_RESULT := RESULT;
END;
Everything works as intended. However, this procedure is being called from Webservices. According to what I have been told, webservices adds 18ms for each clob that needs to be converted into char so it can be displayed on the screen. So, I need something like this
create procedure sr_p1(result out sys_refcursor)
is
begin
open result for
select dbms_lob.substr(c1,32000,1) from sr_test;
end;
Is there an alternate method to send more than 4000 characters in the refcursor?

I am using an Oracle view and package to extract data from my DB to build an XML file on the fly.
My problem is that on very rare occasions, an invalid XML character will be in the database. This, of course, causes my XML file to error.
My question is: What are the possible ways to remove invalid XML characters when selecting out of a DB field? Any function that has been written for this type of thing, or is a VERY long 'translate' more of what I should be doing?

end as indate
from commLeaseBut5

This sql is check a date field in the database for record which, if the date field is blank it should be a new record. Then the sql will assigned the current timestamp and stored to the new record. Otherwise, the sql will return the record timestamp for display.

I am looking for a SQL query which checks for special character(s) in a string and remove them if any.
for e.g: input string : 'ABCD $ & * # 123 Test'
expected output should be in upper case : 'ABCD123TEST'
we do not know the position of special characters and also what kind of special characters will come as input.
