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
create table test
(
name varchar2(50),
descd varchar2(50)
)
insert into test values ('kethlin','da,dad!tyerx');
insert into test values ('tauwatson','#$dfegr');
insert into test values ('jennybrown','fsa!!trtw$ fda');
insert into test values ('tauwatson','#$dfegr ,try');
how do I get the first three characters and last three characters from name field and remove all the junk characters from descd field?
so my o/p be like;
Quote:('ketlin','dadadtyerx')
('tauson','dfegr')
('jenown','fsatrtw fda')
('tauson','dfegr try')
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--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

how to remove these special characters like ' in the query string.
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.
i have a database column holding first name and last name. I want to find out the special characters and convert it to empty space.
Eg : kishore's 001 ==> kishores 001

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.
This is in Oracle 10.2.0.4.0. I have some blob records (delimited text uploads) with some diacritic characters in them, and the diacritics are being lost when I run CONVERTTOCLOB.
database character set is AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
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!

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.

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.

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 "?".

I have a insert statement where i need to insert data to a column where i need to insert value more than 4000 char into column.
Different approaches and condition:
1. CLOB should not be used
2. Need full value to be stored
Approach:
1.I created few more dummy columns to insert the data , was inserting 4000 char and if exceeded i was inserting to next column, but this will be tedious if we have 35000 char
2.Insert in the same column as different rows
