Server Utilities :: IMP-00037 - Character Set Marker Unknown?
Mar 2, 2011
When I am trying to import a dump file which was exported from Oracle 10.2.0.4(installed on Solaris) in to Oracle 11.1.0.6.0(Installed on Windows 2003), I am getting the following error
IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
So , I have couple of questions on this
1. Is the above import operation is supported?
2. If yes , which is actually causing the problem?
3. How to rectify this problem? - any solution or workarounds?
4. What should I check in both the Oracle instances - any specific parameters or configurations
I've a question regarding difference of character sets, while taking a export(logical backup) of database on directly to server(linux RHEL 2.1 AS) and export on a client (windows xp prof machine, where only a oracle 9i client is installed). On server it seems to fine and okay, but on client node i'm getting following error for almost all tables.
EXP-00091: Exporting questionable statistics.
My question is :
[1] Is it creating any sort of problem, if later on i import the data which was taken from client node.
[2] Why there is a difference(marginal) in dump(.dmp) file size.
[3] Is there any way to overcome it, or it is the natural behave of it. Means not a problem.
[4] If i'm using a long or blob as datatype for some of my table,is they have any problem if i persist like above.
Additional Information about character sets On server node :
Export done in US7ASCII character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion)
On client node :
Export done in WE8MSWIN1252 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set server uses US7ASCII character set (possible charset conversion)
I have oracle 10.2.0.4.0 installed on Window server 2008 [Machine A] and oracle 10.2.0.1.0 on windowx xp [Machine b]. Now I have taken the export of database on windows server 2k8 [Machine a] by puting the entry in the tnsname.ora file of Windox XP [Machine b].
Now when I am importing on the same machine I am getting the below mentioned error:

I have a file which i am loading , the last column is being loaded with special character which looks like sqare shape character for all the rows.How can i prevent it to load as it is not present in the file
data in file
Department|2|Tranport for London|Rail & Underground|ER|ER|ER|ER|ER|ER|555555555|Owner 8|8
the data once loaded for the last column on which is for above example last column value 8 will be loaded with 8 and square share character.
I have to load a fixed width file using sql loader utility. But the records have multiple special characters. writing / modifying the loader utility to load the data.
--Script to create the table create table t1 ( ip1 varchar2(2), ip2 number, ip3 number);
--loader utility LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:inputfile.dat' BADFILE 'c:adfile.bad' REPLACE INTO TABLE t1 FIELDS TERMINATED BY '' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '°' ( ip1POSITION(1:2) CHAR, ip2POSITION(3:17) INTEGER EXTERNAL ":ip2/100", ip3POSITION(18:32) INTEGER EXTERNAL ":ip3/100", )
--sql version i am using SQL*Loader: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Mar 7 18:32:33 2012 Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
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?
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?
i have two tablespaces dictionary managed (SYSTEM,APPLSYSX) i tried to change to locally cause it will cause problem in future when trying to run OATM migration.i did it successfully on APPLSYSX,when i did it on system upon oracle procedure.i have to change all tablespaces to read only when i did that with tablespace APPLSYSD(alter tablespace APPLSYSD read only) i received errors
SQL> alter tablespace APPLSYSD READ ONLY; alter tablespace APPLSYSD READ ONLY * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01230: cannot make read only - file 636 is offline ORA-01111: name for data file 636 is unknown - rename to correct file ORA-01110: data file 636: '/vol5u/oracle/prddb/9.2.0/dbs/MISSING00636' i have not this file on the OS
while i log on to the oracel, i get the following error "Ora-12705 - Invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified" AND i could not log on. how can i rectify this problem?
I am facing problem with my application while it tries to connect to the Oracle 9i DB using OCI, it fails with ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified.
On my client side, the oracle ennvironment variable for the NLS are
We are attempting to configure/use OEM (Oracle 10.2.0.4) on Solaris, and when logging in to OEM we are directed to the Database Down page, stating Enterprise Manager is unable to connect to the database instance, but showing all the components as up/open. After checking the log, I found the following error:
IO exception: Unknown Encryption or Data Integrity algorithm
I checked the settings in emoms.properties and compared the encryption parameters to those in our SQLNet file, and all match up. We are NOT using Grid Control, just db control connecting to 1 instance.
I get this error when I try to connect to this database service as another user. I can connect to it as sys without any problem and the database is up.
And when I check to see whether the listener is running for that service, using lsnrctl status command, it shows that the service is UNKNOWN. What does this status mean?

I need to write a dynamic SQL in PL SQL to query an unknown number of columns. Let me take a simple example query here:
SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM VENDOR_CONTACTS
If I have known the number of columns, e.g. querying two columns: "FIRST_NAME" and "LAST_NAME", I can write a DYNAMIC SQL based on the template in table 8-2 of URL....
DECLARE stmt_str varchar2(200); cur_hdl int; rows_processed int; FIRST_NAME varchar2(200); LAST_NAME varchar2(200); BEGIN cur_hdl := dbms_sql.open_cursor; -- open cursor stmt_str := 'SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM VENDOR_CONTACTS'; [code]....
However, if I wish to write a dynamical sql to query these two columns for a more general purpose (which should meet the requirement to query different number of columns, e.g. three columns, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, BIRTHDAY instead of two columns FIRST_NAME and LAST_NAME). To do this I first try to query the same two columns but using a different method, following URL.....My code for the same query has error, and I cannot solve it.
I want to load lakhs of records into a table. My problem is when after loading the ¼ of records my process is abend due to the size of my rollback segment area. I don't have an option to increase it. So, Is there any way to go for intermediate commits when I am using the imp or sqlldr utilities to load the entire data without abend?
I am familiar with tool Netca. However there is one more utility exist for the same functionatlty which is netmgrI checked with many DBAs for the exact difference, however I did not get the best answer from them. I also have checked in google but not exactly got the difference. list the exact difference between those 2 tools (netca, netmgr)
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?
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;
