I have a table like mentioned below
create table test1( test_no number, test_description varchar2(100));
insert into test1 values (1,'ABC£¥');
insert into test1 values (2,'BCD£¥');
Now I am selecting from the above table and the expected rest it should have shown is as shown below
TEST1
-----------------------
TEST_NO TEST_DESCRIPTION
1 ABC£¥
2 BCD£¥
But instead of showing the extended ascii characters, it is showing some different characters as shown below
select * from test1;
TEST1
-----------------------
TEST_NO TEST_DESCRIPTION
1 ABCLY
2 BCDLY
I have an requirement where i need to fetch the exact ascii characters for £ and ¥ instead of L and Y respectively.
I am using SQL Loader to load data from text file to DB. non-ASCII characters present in the text file is not uploaded correctly to DB.
Sample Data
test data üindex
Data in DB
test data ?index
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 simple program .It reads binary file and writes all , what reads into another file
WHILE my_lenght_help <= my_lenght LOOP
UTL_FILE.GET_RAW ( g_read_file , my_bufer_read ,200 );
UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW ( g_write_file , my_bufer_read );
my_lenght_help:= my_lenght_help + 200;
END LOOP;
my question. How I can change "my_bufer_read" between UTL_FILE.GET_RAW and UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW to make writable file ascii
I want to get NUMBER value from RAW bytes in PL/SQL...For example, single-byte value 0xED in RAW variable should became 237 in NUMBER variable.
We used to use:ascii(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_raw.substr(p_data,i,1))), but this seems working in DBs with single-byte character sets only, and now I am on DB with AL32UTF8 character set...
I would be happy if the following function returns 237, not 0:
function mmm (
r RAW -- ed (237 in decimal)
) return NUMBER
is
n NUMBER;
begin
[code]....
I have requirement to convert the extended ascii to character. Is there any function available .
View 9 Replies View RelatedI can't think of a clue how to get the desired results.
I have table column with varchar2 type. I need to convert the strings in this column to ascii values. Now I know Oracle function ascii() converts a character to ascii values. But it just converts the first character of the string and ignore the others. I need to convert the whole string to ascii values. For example, if I need to convert the string "USA", the result should be '858365' (as in U decimal value is 85, S decimal value is 83 and A decimal is 65).
I think I need to use instr() function and also PL/SQL to pass all these strings through a cursor and then use a loop but I'm still confused about it.
I'm looking for a way to insert tabs (ASCII 009) in SQL output, to make the output file Excel-ready without manual intervention.
Here's what I need :
SQL> set output myfile.xls;
SQL> select article,TAB,count(*) from sales group by article having count(*) > 0;
Instead of TAB I can insert a dollar sign, but then I have to replace it using a file editor, which is a manual operation. I have been looking for an OpenVMS application which can replace all dollar signs by tabs in a given file, with no luck.
I created a DCL procedure (simplified from GSR.COM which I found on the internet) that reads every record in the output file and substitutes dollar signs by tabs, but it doesn't work with tabs, only with "normal" characters.
Even if I use the OpenVMS editor to insert ASCII 009 tab characters in the SQL statement (using the GOLD 009 GOLD SPEC INS key combination), SQL apparently automatically substitutes tabs by full stop signs in the output :
select article,' ',date from werknemers limit to 2 rows;
ARTICLE DATE
TROUSERS . 12-28-1974
SHIRTS . 10-08-1973
2 rows selected
I can use SQL to create a CSV file (comma separated values) which can be opened by Excel :
"trousers",20
"shirts",30
But the user has to open this file from within Excel and make a number of choices (separator, text delimiter, header row) before (s)he gets to see the desired columnar spreadsheet. That's not automation : I need the generated SQL output file to be double-clickable so that it opens as a columnar spreadsheet immediately.
why the REPLACE function is not replacing. I assume it has something to do with the ASCII value being zero.

My application has several update-able forms. And I build a single staging table to store all these records.
The user wants a button on the last form and by clicking on this button they want to export the file(updated records from all the forms) in ASCII format.
if its do-able or not in apex since I haven't come across this kind of request earlier and didn't find the same in this forum?
Versions: 10g DB, Apex 4.1.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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?
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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

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,
