we have a Oracle 11g database, but it does not support UTF8 character set. Now we have received a file which contains records with Trade Mark symbol (special character). Now when we are trying to load the record, it is getting loaded with a sign "?". As a result when we try to display record in web application, the application is not able to show the records properly.

Client are reporting these records as invalid and requesting us to fix. As i investigated i found out, this table was created and loaded few year back. Client sent us one time files which we loaded into this table. I was able to find the code which was actually used to load this table, but unfortunately i was not able to find the raw files where we load this data from...
It seems like Previous Developer specified character set "UTF8" statement, in his sql loader script, to load this data. It seem those file contain some Greek language special character data which was not support by "UTF8" charater set and result in creating those invalid data. My Job is to fix these invalid records and convert them back to its original values which were present in the raw file. I tried to contact client and see if i can find out the raw files but no luck. I tried to use convert function as mention to convert this data from "UTF8" to our current character set format but no luck.

A database containing inventory data has been migrated from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g. I have access to both the Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g database on different client computers. Both databases use the same character set, WE9MSWIN1252 (query shown below). However the results from the sql SELECT show incorrectly displayed characters. I would like the "1/2" character and degree character to show in the text. The ASCIISTR function shows that the underlying ascii is the same in the two copies of the databases.
Is there a setting that needs to be changed in Oracle 11g so that the saved special characters in the database show correctly (as in Oracle 10).

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?
I have a text file which is comma separated with values enclosed in double quotes.

When I run my normal sqlloader ctl file, it gives the error as

We have Oracle 10g and user trying to Insert following in one of our table field and getting error:

create table Employee
(Emp_ID Varchar2 (10),

Insert into Employee
values ('Emp1', 'REVOLUCIÃ"N Historical Corruptions Agenda');
I have this table :
column1 column2
--------- ---------
value1 value2
value1 value3
value2 value4
value3 value7
value7 value1
value8 value9
What I was trying to retrieve is something like that:
Quote:
output_column
---------------
value1, value2, value3, value4, value7
value8, value9
I don´t care about the order of the values in the row. In other words, I want to get disjoint sets of data connected by any of both values.Every pair in the input table is unique.
I have seen in the web that it is possible to do using connect by and hierarchical retrieving but I've been trying to make a lot of combinationts and I can reproduce the output.
My requiremnt is that a field must contain on Alpha number value, no specail character allowed, how can we sure by query that string which is going to commit is alphanumeric.

some explanation: the above select statement is to select the child node inside the xml content. But the child note contains some special character "<>" that illegally in xml.
Below is my xml content for the node of sub_problem_type

<RCA>
<SUB_PROBLEM_TYPE>
