Server Administration :: How To Know Character Set As Single Character Or Multi Character
Sep 26, 2013how 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?
Globalization :: Database Character Set
Jun 6, 2012We have production DB 10g with character set US7ASCII. This DB stores Arabic data and English data.Production DB located in HP unix Operating System.
When I query data from DB through SQL developer data is shown as Junk or Unknown characters(Square Boxes).
Client (Workstation from where query is issued from SQL develope- Windows XP OS) Settings: NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
In Client workstation Oracle 10g client is installed from where I used to query data through SQL developer. The problem is I am unable to see Arabic characters in the sense that it is displayed as Junk character. However English characters and Eneglish numeric values are displayed properly.
I tried below way to make sure that data is not corrupted: Converted "Name" column to hex value (rawtohex) and displayed its HEX value. Executed below query in UTF-8 DB.
select UTL_I18N.RAW_TO_CHAR(hex_value_of-name) from dual;
This displayed Arabic name properly in UTF8 DB.
Character set for this production DB can not be changed at this time. There are many applications which is based on this DB. All these applications are well capable of converting Junk data to Arabic to display in application.
My concern is: What I should required to do to view Arabic data properly through SQL developer? Is there any settings needs to be done at my client workstation?

Server Administration :: Change Database Character Set?
Jan 25, 2013Currently my oracle database character set is we8mswin1252 and it is only containing English data as well as spatial data (which is in English of course). I would like to change the Database character set so it could accept Arabic characters.
I have checked the below command on a test DB and it worked fine, but I want to know if it's recommended as a best practice when changing the character set to accept arabic and this won't corrupt my old entered Data ?
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
STARTUP RESTRICT
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET INTERNAL_USE AR8MSWIN1256
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

How To Review Implication Of Database Character Set Change On PL/SQL Code
Sep 14, 2013We are converting WE8ISO8859P1 oracle db character set to AL32UTF8. Before conversion, i want to check implication on PL/SQL code for byte based SQL functions.
What all points to consider while checking implications on PL / SQL code? I could find 3 methods on Google surfing, SUBSTRB, LENGTHB, INSTRB. What do I check if these methods are used in PL/SQL code?
What all other methods should I check? What do I check in PL/SQL if varchar and char type declarations exist in code? How do i check implication of database character set change to AL32UTF8 for byte bases SQL function.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Oracle Database 10g - Data In Column Stored In Different Character Set
Sep 23, 2010Oracle database version is : 10G.

Oct 24, 2012I want to change space allocation for character columns in my database, So it will store them as 'CHAR' and not 'BYTE'.my character set is
SQL> SELECT VALUE FROM V$NLS_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER='NLS_CHARACTERSET';

And then I want to see that when I create a table with some varchar2 column,The space for it will be allocated by chars, and not by bytes! However, when I run a check of create table, this is what I get:
SQL> drop table check_char;
Table dropped.
SQL> create table check_char (some_name varchar2(10));
Table created.

2 from all_tab_columns a

What is the reason for space allocation to remain in BYTES and not CHAR, or what else I can check?
Inserting Character From Extended ASCII Character Set?
Mar 8, 2007I'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?

Globalization :: Character Encoding - LATIN-1 Character In UTF-8 DB?
Feb 9, 2013I 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)

View 1 Replies View Related30 Character Limit?
Nov 13, 2007I'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.

Dec 7, 2010The 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)?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Using Character Functions?
May 13, 2010I 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??
