How to change the Character Set from AL32UTF8 to WE8DEC

Hello!!
I want to know how to change the character set in the database from AL32UTF8 to WE8DEC.
I tried to use the comand ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET but I got an error because WE8DEC is not a superset of AL32UTF8.
I need to import tables from a server that uses WE8DEC. So when I do the import to my server, wich has AL32UTF8 , I can't import the rows that include an Ñ.
So I want to change the caracter set to WE8DEC. How can I do it?
Is it needed to change the language configuration? The remote server has AMERICAN_AMERICA, and my server has MEXICAN SPANISH_MEXICO (both uses text in spanish).
Thanks a lot!!

When you export from WE8DEC server what did you use
for NLS_LANG char set? And when importing?
The export was done in another computer because I can't do the export in the server (I have 10g, and the remote server has 9i and the export is not working). In my server, when I tried to do the import, the NS_LANG value was MEXICAN SPANISH_MEXICO.WE8MSWIN1252.
When I try to import to my database I got the error:
import done in WE8DEC character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
import server uses AL32UTF8 character set (possible charset conversion)
export client uses WE8MSWIN1252 character set (possible charset conversion)

How to change the character set of the D/b

Hello All,
When i issue the command
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8
It gives me the error that I can only change the character set to a superset of the existing character set.
Is there any way i can change the character set without recreating the database.
TIA
Naveen

The existing character set is the basis for the new character set. This is fair enough, because the character set determines how the actual data is stored in the database. Allowing new characters is a minor change: completely re-encoding your entire database is not.
I'm afraid export, recreate and import is your only option.
Cheers, APC

How to change the character set encoding not being a superset one

HI, i have a fresh installed database, but i realize the character set support in my client is not good enough, since its a not production database i want to change the character set encoding to anothor one not being a superset of the old one.
I have tried the "ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252" but it fails claiming i need a superset one.
I guess its just a single steps to do it, i have all the privileges, just not the time to reinstall and setup everything.

Do you know what that does to the existing data, though? My hunch would be that any characters which have a different binary representation in the source & target character sets would be corrupted.

How to change the character set?

Platform is win2000 and oracle 8.17. I need to write data in Bulragian. Automatic character converter in oracle didn't work! Database is created already!
Is there any function in pl/sql or Java that can convert character set in cl8mswin1251? When I read the data from database there are only ?????
Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure what you're asking here. "Will it be ok" for what?
Assuming
- you read the chapter I linked to,
- ran the character set scanner,
- the character set scanner indicated that all your existing data is properly encoded ISO 8859-1
- the character set scanner indicated that all the ISO 8859-1 data could be converted to Windows-1252
- all the national character set data was properly encoded in whatever national character set the database had
- you did the export properly
- you did the import properly
- your client NLS_LANG settings are all correct
then sure, everything should be OK.
If you skipped one of these steps, I would again strongly encourage you to read the chapter I linked to originally as well as the Metalink article others have pointed you to.

How to alter database character set from AL32UTF8 to EE8MSWIN1250

Hi folks,
I'm using an Oracle 10g, XE database, which has a database character set set to AL32UTF8, what causes that some characters like "č ť ř ..." are not displayed.
To fix this issue, I would like to change it to EE8MSWIN1250 character set as it's set on server.
Unfortunatelly below steps don;t work for me:
connect sys as sysdba;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0;
ALTER SYSTEM SET AQ_TM_PROCESSES=0;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
ALTER DATABASE NATIONAL CHARACTER SET EE8MSWIN1250;
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET EE8MSWIN1250;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; -- or SHUTDOWN NORMAL;
STARTUP;Value in regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_XE is set to CZECH_CZECH REPUBLIC.EE8MSWIN1250
I'm struggling with this issue for hours and unfortunatelly can't make it work. Any advise is more than welcome.
Thanks,
Tomas
I tried to use hints listed here , but always getting some ORA messages.

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. You're right, I've probably didn't provide a full details about my issue, but at least now I know, that database encoding(characterset) is correct.
Here is my issue:
Within my APEX application I would like to use a JasperReportsIntegration, so to be able to create and run iReports straight from APEX application. Installation, and implementation of JasperReports works fine, I had no issue with it.
As a second step I've created a simple report using iReport tool, when if preview function is used, all static characters (from report labels) are displayed correctly. Database items are displayed incorectly - some Czech characters are not displayed. Language within report is set to cs_CS, but I've tried also other options. No sucess.
When I run that report from APEX application (from server) then the same issue - data from database are returned without some czech characters.
Kind regards,
Tomas

Changing database character set from US7ASCII to AL32UTF8

Our database is running on Oracle database 10.1.0.4.0 (AIX) The following are its parameters:
SQL> select value from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
VALUE
US7ASCII
We would like to change the database character set to AL32UTF8. After following Metalink notes: 260192.1 (which helped us resolve "Lossy" and "Truncated" data, the final output of the CSSCAN utility is:
[Scan Summary]
All character type data in the data dictionary are convertible to the new character set
All character type application data are convertible to the new character set
[Data Dictionary Conversion Summary]
The data dictionary can be safely migrated using the CSALTER script
We have no (0) Truncation and Lossy entries on the .txt file. We only have Changeless and Convertible. Now accdg to the documentation, we can do a FULL EXP and FULL IMP. But it did not detail how to do the conversion on the same database. The discussion on the document tells how to do it from one database to another database. But how about on the same database?
We cannot use CSALTER as stated on the document.
(Step 6
Step 12
12.c) When using Csalter/Alter database to go to AL32UTF8 and there was NO "Truncation" data, only "Convertible" and "Changeless" in the csscan done in point 4:)
After performing a FULL export of the database, how can we change its character set? What do we need to do the the existing database to change its character set to AL32UTF8 before we import back our dump file into the same database?
Please help.

There you are! Thanks! Seems like I am right in my understanding about the Oracle Official Documentation. Thanks!
Hmmmmm...when you say:
*"you can do selective export of only convertible tables, truncate the tables, use CSALTER, and re-import."*
This means that:
1. After running csscan on database PROD, i will take note of the convertible tables in the .txt output file.
2. Perform selective EXPORT on PROD (EXP the convertible tables)
3. Truncate the convertible tables on PROD database
4. Use CSALTER on PROD database
5. Re-import the tables into PROD database
6. Housekeeping.
Will you tell me if these steps are the correct one? Based on our scenario: This is what i have understood referring to the Official Doc.
Am i correct?
I really appreciate your help Sergiusz.

Changing the character set in RoboHelp 7 file converted from 5

The character set of the output files for WinHelp defaults to
utf-8. How can the default be set to windows-1252 per project or
for all projects in RoboHelp 7?

This is related to the posting - "RoboHelp 7 (with patch) IE6
does not display popup field definitions". Somewhere in our
environment the character set is getting changed to western
european (ISO) for the pages that do not load initially in IE6/XP
from the OAS even though the code generated by RoboHelp is utf-8.
The WebHelp generated in RoboHelp v5 has a characterset of
windows-1252. None of the pages with the character set of
windows-1252 have a problem loading (or changing the character
set). The problem may be on the OAS or the single signon
layer.

How to change the language setting in Adobe Flash CS6, from Chinese to English?

How to change the language setting in Adobe Flash CS6, from Chinese to English?

Unless you have a multilanguage serial/ installer, you are on Creative Cloud or care to run through language swap you can't. Retail serial numbers are language specific and most Adobe apps cannot be coerced or switched on the fly since without the proper language resources installed, this won't work...

How to get the character set which i want it to be?

i confront a problem, when using jdbc to connect to oracle8i database on solaris; because i use getBinaryStream() to read from db in "byte" reading, seemly it would use default character set on OS or database(such as EUC,etc.), not which the client i want it to be. is there anyway to take control of such code writing(i mean to change the character set when i get byte out of database, thus the byte would use NLS_LANG the same as using sqlplus setting in user env)?

First of all read Note 581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions:
As of point 3, it follows that direct access to the Oracle database is only allowed for tools from the areas of system administration and monitoring. If other software is used, the following actions, among other things, are therefore forbidden at database level:
Creating database users
Create database objects
Querying/changing/creating data in the database
Using ODBC or other SAP external access methods
Are you trying this on the database server itself? If yes, then you need to install the hebrew codepages as well as hebrew fonts in order to display the data correctly.

How to define the character set of an outbound EDI batch in BizTalk 2010?

I have some EDIFACT files with a character set of UNOC though lowercase strings and umlaute should be allowed. These files should be batched in an outbound EDIFACT file. But the batching orchestration of the related send port throws some validation errors.
If I convert the strings to uppercase characters everything's working fine. So it seems that the outbound batching orchestration uses the UNOA character set internally for the validation of the EDIFACT files...
How can I change the character set of the outbound batching orchestration in BizTalk 2010? No settings found regarding the character set of outbound batching orchestration in the party and agreement configuration so far. Thank you

Hi Philipp,
To define a character set in EDIFACT,
UNA segment is used. After defining see, How Validation of an EDI Interchange Is Configured and Outbound

How to change the account setting for App Store

My last question wasn't so clear, so I would like to post again. I want to know how to change the account setting for App Store. I have changed in the Settings but it doesn't reflect in App Store.
Thanks,

once you sign out just click sign in and put the new email address in the "Username" field and your correct password then click OK
it will look like it is doing nothing but give it time and it will sign you in with the new username.
is it possible you have multiple itunes accounts?
when you changed your itunes account from your me.com to your gmail.com address did you change it within the itunes Edit Account Info ('Store' menu then select 'View My Account', then sign in , select edit account info) or did you just create another itunes account?
be well

Website not displaying correctly. Firefox is changing the character set to Western (ISO-8859-1) automatically.

Normally I have set Firefox (or it's set by default) to Character Set Unicode (UTF-8) and everything displays perfectly. I've never had a problem before.
Now however, whenever I upload my own website, for some bizarre reason on that particular tab (and only that tab) the Character Set is changed over to Western (ISO-8859-1) and then there's a few characters within my site that do not display correctly, namely apostrophes and hypens.
It definitely isn't my software (Serif WebPlus X4) because the page displays correctly in every other browser. Plus it displays correctly in Firefox if I change the Character set back to Unicode.
PS The site is a work in progress

That happens because the server sends a content-type (<b>text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1</b>) via the HTTP response headers and in that case that content type prevails. The page code is saved with an UTF-8 byte order mark (ï»¿) that you see in this case.
