I have a simple update statement. Sometimes the data in this statement has single quotes in it (like shown below).
Update table1 set account = 'CD'S NOT MINE' WHERE NUMBER = '0027201'
When I run this SQL, I get SQL Error: ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated
01756. 00000 - "quoted string not properly terminated"
Is there an escape charecter that I can use?

I have to load a fixed width file using sql loader utility. But the records have multiple special characters. writing / modifying the loader utility to load the data.
--Script to create the table
create table t1 (
ip1 varchar2(2),
ip2 number,
ip3 number);
--loader utility
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:inputfile.dat'
BADFILE 'c:adfile.bad'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE t1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '°'
(
ip1POSITION(1:2) CHAR,
ip2POSITION(3:17) INTEGER EXTERNAL ":ip2/100",
ip3POSITION(18:32) INTEGER EXTERNAL ":ip3/100",
)
--data file
9900000000000000000000059762160°
9900009694635473¶00009693856712-
99000024383898654000025664467904
--sql version i am using
SQL*Loader: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Mar 7 18:32:33 2012
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
In the above mentioned data file, records has multiple special characters like '°','¶' ,'-'.
All these special characters have some meaning.
eg: '°' specifies the above column needs to be multiplied by -1
'¶' specifies the above column needs to be multiplied by -0.1
what changes need to be made in loader utility for the same? Also, will there be any change in the utility if I am using higher version of oracle?

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?

I´m monitoring a 11g database with OEM. I have a couple of questions regarding the Average Active Sessions chart:
- What does the line 'CPU core' means? The DB is running in a virtual server with 8 CPUs. However, the line 'CPU core' is in 1. Does it mean that Oracle is just using 1 CPU?
- What represents the '99th percentile' line? The chart shows several sessions above that line, something is not working well, isn't it?

I'd like to use escape sequences in plsql but it didn't work.I have to use a variable 'v_jahr'..This is what I like to do:
SELECT COUNT(TABLE_NAME) FROM USER_TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TABLE' || v_jahr;
But I think I should use an 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE' like this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(TABLE_NAME) FROM USER_TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TABLE' || v_jahr';
But then I have to escape my tics. How can I do this?
I tried this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(TABLE_NAME) FROM USER_TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = '||''''||'TABELLE_'||'''' || v_jahr ||'''';

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;
RAWTOHEX(NAME)
---------------------------
DFDF

I've written a .net program for inserting blobs into our database, and it works fine, except if the path has more than 30(+) characters. I've read that this is a limitation in oracle, but the actual contents being stored is just the filename, extension, and blob itself, so I'm not actually storing anything more than 30 characters.

The problem is regarding character encoding.When i am entering Japanese characters in a description form field in a Jsp page and on submit storing the value in the database,its getting stored fine.When i an selecting the value and showing in the result page,then again its properly displaying.But when i am executing the select query in Sql Developer,the values are most probably showing as unicode characters (i am not sure about this though,but at least they are looking like unsupported characters).
Is there any way to store data,such as the select query will also show understandable japanese characters on Sql Developer(or other IDEs)?
i am using Oracle 10g?

I would like to use character functions (LPAD, INSTR, SUBSTR, etc) to accomplish what i feel should be rather easy. I would like to take the following character strings:
'ADAM ST #3 S_109640'
'ALBANY AVE #5 & #6 S_AL5&6'
'ALBIN RD #10A S_123318'
And make them
'ADAM ST'
'ALBANY AVE'
'ALBIN RD'
As you can see, it probably boils down to using SUBSTR, INSTR, RTRIM, and LENGTH??
