How to switch DB string storage format from/to UTF-8 to/from ISO 8859-1 ?

As far as I understand strings in tables are stored by default in an Oracle DB in ISO 8859-1 format.
How can I switch the storage to UTF-8 format?
Do I have to change just a parameter (which ?) or do I have to setup/install the whole DB again?
If just a parameter switching is necessary:
How can I change already existing strings from one format to another?
Does it take place automatically or do I have to issue and explicite convert command (which ?).

  • Storage format for +400k Samples to exchange with linux/octave

    I collect data with PXI system (LV2009, XP), now some colleagues want to analyze data with octave/linux.
    A typical set is up to four channels, in total about +400k 16bit samples and there are many of them, so I would prefer a binary format.
    Any suggestions what LV storage format ease the transfer?
    Greetings from Germany
    Henrik
    LV since v3.1
    “ground” is a convenient fantasy
    '˙˙˙˙uıɐƃɐ lɐıp puɐ °06 ǝuoɥd ɹnoʎ uɹnʇ ǝsɐǝld 'ʎɹɐuıƃɐɯı sı pǝlɐıp ǝʌɐɥ noʎ ɹǝqɯnu ǝɥʇ'

    For me the task is still open. I work with octave 3.6.2. I tried several "fread()" command variations. But I'm somehow lost.
    It seems to me that there is a leading 16bit number in the exported little-endian binary export file that separates different data sets.
    E.g. if I write the array:
    0  1    2    3   4   5   6   7
    0  11  22 33  44 55  66 77
    to disk, it seems that LabView writes:
    0(16bit) 0  1    2    3   4   5   6   7
    0(16bit) 0  11  22 33  44 55  66 77
    Hence, if I give the octave commands:
    [val, count] = fread(fid, [1,1], "single",0 , "ieee-le");
    val
    [val2, count] = fread(fid, [8,1], "double",0 , "ieee-le");
    val2'
    [val, count] = fread(fid, [1,1], "single",0 , "ieee-le");
    val
    [val3, count] = fread(fid, [8,1], "double",0 , "ieee-le");
    val3'
    the output is, what I expect.
    Is there a chance to avoid this extra delimiter numbers?
    Or where is my mistake?

  • How to convert a String("yyyy-mm-dd") to the same but in Date format ?

    Hi,
    can anyone plz tell me how to convert a String to a date format.I'm using MSACCESS database.I want to store this string in the database.So i need to convert it to a date format since the table is designed such a way with date/time type for date field.I used SimpleDateFormat ,but i can't able to convert.The code is given below:
    coding:
    public String dateconvertion(String strDate)
    try
    SimpleDateFormat sdfSource = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    Date date = sdfSource.parse(strDate);
    SimpleDateFormat sdfDestination = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd ");
    strDate = sdfDestination.format(date);
    catch(ParseException pe)
    System.out.println("Parse Exception : " + pe);
    return(strDate);
    }

    i used prepared statement even now i am getting error like this.....
    i have included the prepared statement package also...
    my coding:
    ResultSet rsdatetemp = null;
    PreparedStatement ps = null;
    String query ="select distinct itemcode from sales where bill date between ? and ?";
    ps = precon.prepareStatement(query);

  • How do I get to synchronise 3 videos of the same thing from 3 different Angles to play in a FLA and switch between them?

    Hi all,
    It's been a long time since I was on here... well here goes(I need a bit of technical help with a question if I may)
    This client of wants a flash video player of a model, modeling some clothes.
    They are going to set up 3 different cameras around her at the same time filming her - one from the front, one from the side and one from the back. Each clip lasts exactly 3mins and they are filming her at THE SAME TIME.
    Now after this, they want to put a FLASHPLAYER on their website with the video playing in a screen with 3 buttons underneath one saying FRONT VIEW, one saying SIDE VIEW AND one saying BACK VIEW. The three separate videos will be integrated in some way with this one flash file.
    The video player might start playing the FRONT VIEW first.
    BUT lets say 30 seconds into the clip I press the SIDE VIEW button the video switches to the side view on 30 seconds - The side view video doesn't play right from the start. Like I said before for example if the person is speaking and says "hello there", if you switch angle by clicking one of the buttons just at the point after she has said the word "hello", you switch to the angle where he is just about to say "there". If you see what I mean.
    As I said before there are 3 separate video clips:- FRONT VIEW, SIDE VIEW and BACK VIEW. Now I am not sure if these have to be embedded in the FLA file or can be contained in a separate folder on the server so that the SWF can access them. I am worry about streaming over the internet thats why I THINK Flash Media Server3 MIGHT be a solution BUT I don't know. BUT they must be seamless.
    AGAIN to reiterate...LETS say I am watching the SIDE view 30 seconds after the clip has started and the model starts scatching her head and then AT THAT POINT  I click the front view button below I see the model scratching her head from the front view at THAT precise moment.
    So all the videos seem to work at the same time to the casual viewer/user and it looks as though you are just switching views whenever you want.
    I have been looking all over the net to see if someone has produced a working example or if there is a tutorial somewhere but I have found NOTHING.
    I think there might be a problem pulling this one off as each video clip could be 4-5 MB in size and if they are streaming then there would be download problems and these videos might stop due to people with various bandwidth restrictions UNLESS all the videos were integrated into the flash library and were referenced from within by Actionscript but then the resultant SWF could be HUGE.
    I would really appreciate any help/suggestions here and any link to any working samples on the NET that I can download and disect at my leisure.
    BTW:-
    My email is [email protected]
    Cheers

    Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
    you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
    plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

  • How do I keep my text formating when pasting from other InDesign files?

    I'm trying to post charts from one InDesign file to another.  The chart I'm trying to paste has hand-made fractions in them. The font is superscript and baseline shifted. When I paste it into a new document, the text loses all that formatting. It seems like a preferance thing, but I can't find it.

    Even if Placing an .indd file retains the formatting, it's a non-starter. The reason I needed to paste the formatted text in the first place was to create a variation of the ad for a different purpose, so I need to be able to edit the text - something you can't do with a placed file. 
    For instance, I created an ad for an exhibit that includes the date of the reception and the address of the museum, etc. Then I want to create a poster for the wall of the exhibit, so I create a new document with different specs. Placing the ad copy would serve no use since I have to edit the copy (removing the address and reception date) and then readjust the emphasis of each line slightly.
    Then I created another new file (RGB, tall and skinny) for the email invite. So I needed to copy the ad copy  and again put emphasis in different places.
    I hope you can see that there is a real need to be able to copy and paste manually formatted text from one document to another while retaining the special formatting. In these kinds of jobs there is no need to create a new style for each line of text since each line is tweaked and tweaked to death.
    This copy & paste behavior is not intuitive and is obviously causing problems for users for no  reason whatsoever except that "Adobe knows best". Why can't Adobe trust that I knew what I was going when I applied the formatting in the first place?
    Considering how easy it it to remove formatting and revert to the original style, I would say the nod should be given to retaining formatting upon pasting. Both Word and Quark do this, so it's not anything unusual. Or give us the choice with a Paste Special dialog. But saying this behavior is "as designed" or suggesting you need to place a file or PDF, is not the solution.

  • How can I add three binary numbers and then convert to string (Hex format)?

    Hi All,
    I have my problem "half" resolved, but need some assistance on the final piece.  Overall, I need to take three string values (hex format), convert them to binary, add them and then convert back to a string (hex format).  If that doesn't make sense maybe this will:
    Final Result (My target) = 0xCC
     = 0x03 + 0x01 + 0x04
              = 0x03; 0011b
              = 0x01; 0001b
              = 0x04; 0100b
    For my app, we are dropping "masking" some of the bits so that we get 1 byte:
              = 0x03; 11b
              = 0x01; 001b
              = 0x04; 100b
    So...
    11001100b = 0xCC
    In my VI, I am taking each initial string [0x03,0x01 and 0x04] type casting them to U8.  Next I need to "mask" the binary values as shown above and then add them.  I am not sure how to do this in LV??
    Thanks for the help,
    Bryan

    Hi Bryan,
    there's a conversion palette in the string palette, ever looked at those functions?
    The rest is pure simple math:
    It's the straight-forward way, there are other possibilities too!

    How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

    Select, and Copy in the Word doc and Paste in the Pages doc. It may not be perfect. Importing (Opening) the Word doc is probably better than using Copy/Paste for large amounts of content.

    My iChat has changed from message to Bonjour.  I don't use Bonjour and I don't know how to change it back to message.  Please help. Steven

    your response doesn't help the overall problem. For anyone with no data plan and only using wifi like mel_222 and myself, the iphone will not be able to send a message to these people who the phone has recognized as having ios5 unless the phone has a wifi connection because it is an imesssage. I am having the same problem, hopefully someone will know how to switch it. Hopefully this clarifies for anyone who might be able to answer. Luckily I will have a data plan kick in in a week, but I am sure some people who buy the phone outright will be faced with this issue.
