PL/SQL - Generate Update DML With Special Character?

Dec 1, 2010

I have a pl/sql question about interpreting special characters in pl/sql. I am generating an update statement and get an invalid character when the customer name has an ampersand in it (&). I�m now generating the update statement to include the customer name cut up with concatenation characters surrounding the ampersand, for example �CSCP-C�||�&�||�E�. However, pl/sql is still not executing the update.

Here is the code.

SET PAGES 2000;
SET LINES 200;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SET VERIFY OFF;
spool update_table.log ;

[code]....

The RESULTS follow. Of course, I can copy this statement and execute in sqlplus without a problem.

---------------------------------------------
- UNKNOWN ERROR CONDITION
SQL = UPDATE mytable SET CUSTOMER_CORE = ('DSCP-C' || '&' || 'E') WHERE REC_ID = 170795889

Client Tools :: Update Failed ORA-01722 - Invalid Number

May 18, 2011

Enviroment is Embarcadero RAD Studio XE. Work with DataSnap WebBroker Application. Its Server methods ancestor is TDSServerModule.

I've got SQLConnection (dbx), SQLDataSet, DataSetProvider on server side and SQLConnection, DSProviderConnection, ClientDataSet plus DataSource, DBGrid, DBNavigator on client side.
SQLConnection on server side uses Oracle driver - dbxora.dll. DB: Oracle 11g.
SQLConnection on client side uses Datasnap driver.
SQLDataSet has DbxCommandType set to Dbx.SQL, CommandText: "Select * from Table1".
All fields except indexed one have their pfInWhere set to false.
updateMode of DataSetProvaider is set to upWhereKeyOnly.

All is well up to point where ApplayUpdates is fired. It does nothing. HandleReconcileError shows ORA-01722: invalid number.

Oracle explains: ORA-01722:invalid number

Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.

Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation. But all updated fields are of character strings type. There is no need for conversion. I suppose the automatically created SQL has some extra checking. But I cannot see those SQLs. I guess must be a way of controlling those SQLs thru params, but don't know which. May be comparison old value - new value of index column is depending on this conversion?

Server Administration :: How To Know Character Set As Single Character Or Multi Character

Sep 26, 2013

how 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?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Query On Invalid Objects

Jul 10, 2013

Quote:by default the job runs once every 24 hours.

When you see LAST_ANALYZED being days, weeks, or months in the past do not be alarmed.

If/when the data in a table does not change, then the statistics do not need to change.

Oracle collects new statistics when enough of the data (about 10%) has changed.

Like above statement for DBMS_STATS job, is there a automatic job that runs every day to compile invalid objects for schema or we need to compile it manually ?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Update With Recursive Query

Aug 5, 2010

I have this SQL select to give me all the nodes of a tree starting at a particular node:

SELECT tree.node_id, LEVEL depth_level
FROM tree_of_nodes nodes
START WITH nodes.node_id = 1000
CONNECT BY PRIOR nodes.node_id = nodes.parent_id

I need to update a column called dept_level, which is essentially the same as Oracle's LEVEL. Something like this statement is what I need, but obviously this statement doesn't work:

update tree_of_nodes
set depth_level = LEVEL
START WITH nodes.node_id = 1000
CONNECT BY PRIOR nodes.node_id = nodes.parent_id

I've tried inline views and other approaches and have not found a method that works.

Inserting Character From Extended ASCII Character Set?

Mar 8, 2007

I'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, 2013

I 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)
---------------------------
DFDF
