Insert Unicode Characters Into Oracle 8.1.5

Hello,
First off, here are the specs:
Oracle 8.1.5
JDK 1.2.1
Oracle8i 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC Drivers for use with JDK 1.2.x for Solaris
I'm running into a problem with insert Unicode characters into Oracle via the JDBC driver. As you can see above, I am using the Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC driver because it is the first driver with supports the JDK 1.2.x. So I think I should be okay.
I can retrieve data with special characters from Oracle by calling the getBytes() method from the ResultSet with all special characters being intact. I am using getBytes because calling getString() would throw the following exception: "java.sql.SQLException(): Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv". However, with that value that I just retrieved, or any other data with special characters (unicode) in which I try to insert into Oracle does not get converted properly.
What appears to be happening is that data with special characters (unicode), are not being treated as a single double byte character, but rather two single byte characters. Thus, R|ckschlagventil becomes RC<ckschlagventil once it is inserted. (Hopefully, my example will be rendered properly).
According to all documentation that I have found, the JDBC driver should not have any problem with converting UCS2 Java Strings to Oracle's UTF8 character set.
I have set Oracle's NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to UTF8. I am also setting the environment variable NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. Perhaps there is some other environment setting in which I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated,
Christian

Import has a lot of options, so it depends on what you want to do.
C:\> imp help=y
will show you all possible options. An example of full import :
C:\> imp <username>/<password>@<TNS alias> file=<DMP file> full=y log=<LOG file>

Issue of inserting greek characters into Oracle database using ICAN505

Hi All,
We are currently facing an issue of inserting greek characters into Oracle database using ICAN505.
We receive a file containing greek characters.The values from the file should be inserted into the database.We are reading the file using file OTD with default encoding.
The file can contain english characters too other than greek characters.
The database NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8.
When I insert using an insert statement directly ,the values get inserted properly into the DB table.
Inserting the same values using code results in improper characters getting inserted into the table in the database.
Please help....
Thanks in advance !!

It works for SQL Developer, which does not depend on NLS_LANG, so I suspect a problem with your NLS settings.

Avoid doing that through a link. If this is a page item then submit the page and redirect to the target page using a branching. On the target page, create a computation to compute the target item using the original page item as the source. If you are talking about a report, use the id to pass through the link and fetch the text column in an on load computation.

Insert french characters into the database

Hi,
My user requirement is to insert french characters into the db. However he has set as per my suggestion of altering session alter session set nls_language='french' he can't insert french characters. Is this using alter session helps to retrieve only the outputs in french language or to insert too?

To insert date values into a database, you should use java.sql.Date. If it also has a time component, then java.sql.TimeStamp.
Your use of prepared statements is good.
You just need to convert the parameters into a date.
One way to do this is using java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
int rows = 0;
String query_2 = "insert into mrdetails values(?)";
String dob = date+"/" + month+ "/" + year;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SImpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
java.util.Date javaDate = sdf.parse(dob);
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(javaDate .getTime);
prepstat = connection.prepareStatement(query_2);
prepstat.setTimestamp(4,sqlDate);
rows = prepstat.executeUpdate();
out.println("data updated");Cheers,

Why would you do that? Just use Character Viewer to input Apple's built in emoji.
OS X Yosemite: Use the Character Viewer
Pages 09 does not support color emoji, use Pages 5 instead.

Issue inserting UTF8 data into Oracle in windows environment.

I have a UTF8 PHP application that is writing a string containing special characters to oracle through a ODBC connection. The Oracle database is setup for UTF8 support.
Here is the issue. I have a simple string, "louis de funès". When the data manually moved correctly in UTF8 the data comes up correctly. The Oracle dump() shows:
WORKING DATA:
String: louis de funès
select keywords, dump(keywords, 17) from ame_links where keywords like '%louis de %';
Typ=1 Len=15: l,o,u,i,s, ,d,e, ,f,u,n,c3,a8,s
However, when the same string is Inserted through the PHP application the data shows up in the db like this.
NOT - WORKING:
String: louis de funès
select keywords, dump(keywords, 17) from ame_links where keywords like '%louis de %';
Typ=1 Len=17: l,o,u,i,s, ,d,e, ,f,u,n,c3,83,c2,a8,
(The è character has 4 bytes associated with it)
Windows Setup:
Windows Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ORACLE -> HOME0 ->
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
HTTP headers are set for Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8.
Anyone know why I would get 2 extra bytes (83,c2) added in the middle of the è character? Is the oracle client doing some other type of character set conversion before I insert it into the database.
I have also noticed that when I change the NLS_LANG from AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252 that the 4 byte 'è' character works and the 2 byte character doesn't.

I reproduced the porblem. Only differnce from yours is that it reproduces regardless the NLS_LANG setting.
Although I cannot be 100% sure, I think what is happening is that Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager converts the insert statement from Windows ACP to Unicode, then calls SQLExecDirectW (WideChar version of SQLExecDirect) of the Oracle ODBC Driver and passes the insert statement in Unicode. Since your PHP code passed the insert statement in UTF-8 encoding, and the Driver Manager converted it from Windows ACP to Unicode, the letter e with grave ("c3,a8" in UTF-8) was wrongly converted to U+00c3, U+00a8 in the Unicode insert statement, then converted to UTF8 ( "c3,83,c2,a8") by Oracle.
By looking at the PHP source code, apparently PHP odbc_exec() function calls ANSI SQLExecDirect().
I tried to verify that the Driver Manager calls SQLExecDirectW() of Oracle ODBC Driver by enabling the ODBC Tracing, but I couldn't make it work. It genetates an emply SQL.LOG file. So my investigation stops here.
IF YOUR METADATA NAMES ARE ASCII ONLY, AND NON-ASCII CHARACTERS APPEAR ONLY IN DATA, you can workaround this problem by binding data. For example,
$stmt = odbc_prepare($conn, "insert into AME_LINKS (keywords, site_id) values (?, ?)");
$rs = odbc_execute($stmt, array($invar,77));

Insert unicode symbol "æ Ə "by oracle form 10g

Hi
I have a form which inset some unicode symbol in a string like
abc ≤ æ Ə abc...
into a Nvarchar column.
database caharchterset = AR8MSWIN1256.
database= 10.2.0.4
but instead of that data it insert ( abc ?? ?? ?? abc..) what is wrong in my setting?

Hello,
AR8MSWIN1256 cannot store unicode characters. You should have set the database (and the A.S.) with some AL32UTF8/UTF8 charset.

Help needed regarding insertion of data into oracle

Hi,
I am student currently trying to do a project to up a semantic database using oracle. Have set up the semantic technologies for oracle 11gr2 and used the jena adapter to load an owl into oracle.
But i am not sure how do i insert sample data that could reference the owl.
Tried searching but unable to find any simple tutorial and have also looked through the developer's guide and also jenaadaptor guide.
Is there any tutorials available that could help? thank you

Hi,
Please go to the OTN site for more information:

Insert new row into oracle databse through application module usng ADF Form

I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2. I am a beginner. I had tried in-built createInsert and commit method to add new row into oracle DB. For that, I had created ViewObject, VOImpl and AMImpl. Then, I created to jsf page. On first page, I dragged and dropped createInsert fn and VO(as ADF-readonly table) from DC Palette. and on second page, I dragged and dropped my VO(as ADF-Form) and commit (as Button) from DC palette. I created task-flow for it. when i click on createInsert button, i redirected to second page. where i filled all the required information on form. After filling, when i clicked commit button, i redirected to first page.(coz i created task flow to return first page after commit). New row is inserted into ADF-table, but when i checked my oracle DB, there was nothing added.
Thus, I want to use custom method to insert row into OracleDB. So how can i get this? what are the steps required to do this? what programming codes required in Bean.java and AMImpl.java. Or is there any other steps to do this?
please provide me detail steps and programming code for bean, amimpl or for VOImpl or EOImpl.
please help me.

User,
To insert a row into the db you have to use a VO which is based on an EO (entity object). There is no java class (or impl) needed. You can all do this decoratively.
All you have to think of is the PK of the new row. You can use Groovy for that (http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/using-groovy-expression-to-set-a-primary-key-with-a-sequence-number/)
The rest is like you described it yourself. Drag the Vo onto the page, drop it as read only table, drag the createInsert onto the page as button and set up the navigation. On the second page drag the same VO onto the page and drop it as ADF Form. drag the commit operation onto the page as button and setup the navigation back to the first page.

How to insert date value into oracle?

hi,
iam reading date from xml using vb.net and inserting it into oracle table.
the date value in xml file is in the format of "01012003".
i want to insert into oracle table.but iam getting an error "ORA-1843: not a valid month".
how to solve this problem.
Any suggestions or examples...

That's not a date. It's just a string. Convert it to a date using,
DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact("01022003", "MMddyyyy", null);
or
Dim d As DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("01022003", "MMddyyyy", Nothing)
and then bind it to a parameter. ODP.NET will take it from there.
You should never be hard-coding the date literal into your SQL query.

Urgent - pls help - Problem while inserting binary file into Oracle DB

Hi,
I am trying to insert binary files into a Blob column in a Oracle 10G table.
The binary files would be uploaded by the web users and hence come as multipart request. I use apache commons upload streaming API to handle it. Finally i am getting a input stream of the uploaded file.
The JDBC code is
PreparedStatement ps=conn.prepareStatement("insert into bincontent_table values(?)");
ps.setBinaryStream(1,inStream,length);
My problem starts when i try to find the length of the stream. available() method of inputstream does not return the full length of the stream. so i put a loop to read thru the stream and find the length as shown below
int length=0;
while((v=inStream.read())!=-1)
length++;
Now, though i got the length, my stream pointer has reached the end and i cant reset it(it throws an error if i try).
So i copied the stream content to a byte array and created an ByteArrayInputStream like this.
tempByteArray=new byte[length];
stream.read(tempByteArray,0,length);
ByteArrayInputStream bais=new ByteArrayInputStream(tempByteArray);
Now if i pass this bytearray input stream instead of the normal input stream to the prepared statement's setBinaryStream() method it throws an error as
"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested".
Now how to solve this?
My doubts are ,
1) preparedStatement.setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex, InputStream x, int length) expects an inputstream and its length. if i have the stream how to find its length with out reading the stream?
2) Also as the length parameter is a integer, what if i have a large binary file whose length runs more than the capacity of integer
3) Alternatively there is a setBlob(int i, Blob x) in prepared statement. But how to instantiate a Blob object and set it here
4) Is there any better way to do this.
Thanks in advance

"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion
requested".When the setBinaryStream method is used, the driver may have to do extra work to determine whether the parameter data should be sent to the server as a LONGVARBINARY or a BLOB (reference: javadoc)
1) preparedStatement.setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex,
InputStream x, int length) expects an inputstream and its length. if i
have the stream how to find its length with out reading the stream?no. stream may have no specified length. i think you have wrong understanding about stream.
2) Also as the length parameter is a integer, what if i have a large
binary file whose length runs more than the capacity of integer
3) Alternatively there is a setBlob(int i, Blob x) in prepared statement.
But how to instantiate a Blob object and set it here
4) Is there any better way to do this.use ps.setBlob(1, instream) instead

Insert XML data into oracle table

I want to insert xml data returned by the VB code into oracle table.
As a prequisite I have installed the XDK capabilities for Oracle by installing JServer & running
SQL scripts catxsu.sql,xmlparserv2.jar,load.sql to load the XMLSQL Utility (DBMS_XMLQuery) into the database.
I have also granted following privileges to the user.
Grant users access to XMLParser and XMLDom packages:
     grant execute on xmldom to public;
     grant execute on xmlparser to public;
     create public synonym xmldom for sys.xmldom;
     create public synonym xmlparser for sys.xmlparser;
But still i am not able to create procedure which will accept input parameter as an XML document coming from front end which in turn will insert that record into simple oracle table . I am using Oracle 8.1.7
Thanks in advance

Would you specify the database version?
Since DBMS_XMLSave requires DOM, you normally need to divide the huge XML before insertion.
