SQL & PL/SQL :: Finding Out If A Table Column Has Special Characters
Jul 15, 2010
I have this table column of varchar2 data type. I need to find out if it contains anything other than numbers or alphabets(basically to see if it contains any special characters in it).
I just need to fetch only those rows that has special characters. How do I get this?
CREATE TABLE CHECK_SPL_CHARAC
(ADDRESS VARCHAR2(100));
INSERT INTO CHECK_SPL_CHARAC VALUES ('ABC%ABC');
INSERT INTO CHECK_SPL_CHARACVALUES ('ABC_ABC');
INSERT INTO CHECK_SPL_CHARAC VALUES ('ABC?ABC');
INSERT INTO CHECK_SPL_CHARAC VALUES ('ABC*ABC');
INSERT INTO CHECK_SPL_CHARAC VALUES ('1234');
INSERT INTO CHECK_SPL_CHARAC VALUES ('ABC');
INSERT INTO CHECK_SPL_CHARAC VALUES ('AB C');
INSERT INTO CHECK_SPL_CHARAC VALUES ('12 34');
COMMIT;
I need to get the first 4 rows alone in the sql output. I do not wan to get the last 2 rows with space.

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--ggÑÆÔéÓÞ³µmT¤OˆÓ`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 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.

We have a table with an nvarchar column that we use to store product descriptions.
This field is maintained on a web form created with the htp package.
Whenever a special character is used (ie, the copyright symbol, trademark, etc), the value is stored correctly in the DB. I've verified this because if i query the value in sql developer, i do see the correct symbol.
However, pulling this piece of data out to display in a formtext box (for edit) replaces all the special characters with ?'s.
Our National Character Set value is set to UTF-8.
Is this being caused by our database character set? or is it a web design problem that i'm just not aware of.
I can post code snippets if this isn't enough info...but I was hoping it'd be fairly simple.

We are using dbms_crypto.hash to generate the MD5 hash value for a CLOB that will be sent to other feeder systems. The feeder systems validate the file by generating the MD5 hash value on their end and compare with the MD5 generated in Oracle and accept the file only if the MD5 hash value matches.
The MD5 file matches between both the systems except in the case where there are special characters in the CLOB. Somehow, MD5 is prefixing  character before any special character and calculating the MD5 value. In our case, our special characters being ®, §, ™, ©....
This is a high priority issue for us and it is holding our UAT. We are using Oracle 11.2.0.2.0.

on a windows 2008 machine that has the Oracle instant client 11_1 installed (11.01.00.06) i am calling SQLDriverConnect in the following way:
std::string str = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient11_1};Dbq=//10.10.101.66:1521/orcl;;Uid=myUser;pwd=a;b";
odbcRc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, (SQLTCHAR*)str.c_str(), str.size(), (SQLTCHAR*)szConnStrOut, 1024, &cbConnStrOut, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT)) == SQL_ERROR);
as long as the password contains no special chars (namely semicolon) it works fine. but when I try to use special chars in the password It stops working, with an invalid username/password error.
State: 28000 Native error: 1017 Message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
i tried different variations of adding " (\") over the password, over the entire pwd=a;b or braces { but nothing seems to work.the thing is that using ODBC works! what I did was: open ODBC, go to System DSN tab, add "Oracle in instantclient11_1", then fill the following information:
Data source name: Anything
TNS Service Name: //10.10.101.66:1521/orcl
User ID: myUser
then i press test connection, enter the password "a;b" and it works!

I have a following table,
create table test1(col1 varchar2(20));
insert into test1 values('4711-3/01');
I believe we need to use Translate function to get rid of special characters, But I would not be knowing what sort of special charecters which appear in the string, In that case how do I use Translate?

In my DB there are special characters are stored like "Świętochłowice". So in Unix script while extracting these characters, I have used
export LANG="universal.UTF-8" in order to make it English. which works fine.
But my question is how to retain this special character intact as, it is in DB?
So in UNIX script
export LANG="universal.UTF-8"
sqlplus -s uname/pwd@hostname/schema << ENDSQL | sed -e "s/Connected.//" -e "/^$/d"
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off echo off serveroutput on size 10000
spool /path/out.txt
Select name from tablename where is=12;
spool off;
exit
ENDSQL
Output is "Swietochlowice" (makes sense),but how to get the output as "Świętochłowice" which is in DB? I have tried different NLS_LANG option, but no success.

I am uploading the data file which is a .csv, into one of the tables.. Few columns of the data file, contains sentences in German - like- Lötstelle Zinnspritzer Zinnschluß .. and while loading the problem that i encounter is - it doesnt recognize the commas, and doesnt know where the field ends..
e.g., in this line 1540,Lötstelle Zinnspritzer Zinnschluß,solder short,45230,94885,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
sometimes it assumes comma after 1540,Lö,tstelle and then no commas till Lö, tstelle Zinnspritzer Zinnschlußsolder short,
and sometimes, the whole as one line Lötstelle Zinnspritzer Zinnschlußsolder short4523094885,0,0

I have the following procedure body in a package.
PROCEDURE getrecordsForinspection(i_table_name in varchar2, i_thread_id in varchar2, i_max_count in number default null, o_results out sys_refcursor)
AS
v_sql varchar2(1000):= null;
begin
v_sql := 'update '||'i_table_name||' set status = '||'''IN_PROCESS-'||i_thread_id||''''||' Where final_status = '||''''STATUS_ACCEPTED'''||' and ('||i_max_count||' is null or rownum <= '||i_max_count||');';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE(v_sql);
commit;
end;
when I execute the above procedure it gives the following error.
ORA-00911: invalid character
cause: Identifiers may not start with any ASCII characters other than letters and numbers.$#_ are also allowed after the first character. Identifiers enclosed by double quotes may contain any character other than a double quote. Alternative quotes(q'#....#') can not use spaces, tabs, or carriage returns as delimiters. For all other contexts, consult the SQL language reference Manual.
I think dynamic sql is not executed because of the pipe character in the sql statement.

I had a varchar2 variable which was storing some data and I could use the LENGTH function to get the length of the data. However, If I change it to CLOB. What is the best way to get the length?
v_clob_size:= (DBMS_LOB.getlength(v_clob)) / 1024 / 1024;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('CLOB Size ' || v_clob_size);
another one is
LENGTHB(TO_CHAR(SUBSTR(<clob-column>,1,4000))) But this seems restricted to first 4000 characters only.
