Oracle 11g Installation How to select Database Character Set

Hi,
I am Installing oracle 11g R2. After installation I had verified the character set it was AL16UTF16 but I wants to set AL32UTF8 charater set at the time of oracle installation only. I can't see the character set setting opetion at the time of installation because I am selecting the installation option " Install database softerware only" and after installation of oracle software manually I am creating the database. Please help me how can I set the character set at the time of oracle installation or at the time of database creation.
My question is-
How can I set the AL32UTF8 character set in above scenario?
Why It is showing AL16UTF16 character set even I did not define any thing?

But is there any choice to set the NLS_CHARACTERSET at the time of manually database creation. Actually For creating the database i am using one shell script for seting the parameter values in init.ora file so can I set the parameter at that level(at the time of creating init.ora using manually database creation). like
## Original init.ora file created by manual database creation tool on ${DATE}.

  • How to change Database character set?

    Hi,
    We are planning to make a clone of production Database which has:
    select value$ from sys.props$ where name='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
    AL32UTF8
    We have set up a new server for that purpose and installed database, but by default it has
    select value$ from sys.props$ where name='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
    WE8ISO8859P1
    So after making full import from full backup file we have some broken character in database.
    How can I change from WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8?
    I expect that I need to shutdown the clone database or even make from scratch full import.
    Thanks

    I made a full backup from production database which has AL32UTF8
    My new database is fresh and it has WE8ISO8859P1
    I think the reason why I'm having some corrupted characters is because of difference in Character set between two database, right?
    so I will need to change new database Character set to AL32UTF8 then make again full import.

  • 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

  • Oracle database character set

    Hello all -
    Please help..................
    I will be exporting/importing 6/7 users/schemas/data from one database to the another database on solaris. Users are created.
    I am confused about NLS_LANG variable and database characterset.
    I have the following questions -
    1. What is impact of NLS_LANG variable setting of user session while import/export the data ?
    2. Why do we need to set this NLS_LANG user session variable before export/import ?
    3.If NLS_LANG variable is not set (doesnot have any value) what would happen ?
    4. If I have to set NLS_LANG varible, what should I set it to?
    5. How can I see the characterset of my database?
    6. Where can I get more info about database charaterset and What are the valid values for database characterset and NLS_LANG varibale ?
    Any help would really appreciated...
    Thanks a lot.....
    RAMA

    1. What is impact of NLS_LANG variable setting of user session while import/export the data ?
    On export, the data will be converted from the database character set to the character set specified by NLS_LANG. In import, the database will assume that the data is in the character set specified by NLS_LANG and use that value to perform the conversion to the database character set if the two values to not match.
    2. Why do we need to set this NLS_LANG user session variable before export/import ?
    If your database character set is the same as your OS, you don't necessarily have to set NLS_LANG. For instance, if you have a US7ASCII db, and your OS locale is set to AMERICA_AMERICAN.US7ASCII, there won't be any problems. The only time it's really important to set this is when the db and OS settings don't match.
    3.If NLS_LANG variable is not set (doesnot have any value) what would happen ?
    If your database character set doesn't match your OS, the data could be garbled because the db will incorrectly transcode the data on import/export.
    4. If I have to set NLS_LANG varible, what should I set it to?
    Depends on what your database character set is set to (see below).
    5. How can I see the characterset of my database?
    select * from nls_database_parameters and look for the value set for the NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter. Don't get confused by the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET, that's for NCHAR datatypes.
    So, for instance, if your NLS_CHARACTERSET value is set to UTF8, you would set NLS_LANG to .UTF8 (the dot is important because that's actually shorthand for territory_language.characterset, or language_territory.characterset, I can never remember which comes first. In any case, use the dot). For example:
    setenv NLS_LANG .UTF8
    6. Where can I get more info about database charaterset and What are the valid values for database characterset and NLS_LANG varibale ?
    It's all in the Oracle documentation.
    hope this helps.

  • How to review implication of database character set change on PL/SQL code?

    Hi,
    We are converting WE8ISO8859P1 oracle db characterset to AL32UTF8. Before conversion, i want to check implication on PL/SQL code for byte based SQL functions.
    What all points to consider while checking implications on PL/SQL code?
    I could find 3 methods on google surfing, SUBSTRB, LENGTHB, INSTRB. What do I check if these methods are used in PL/SQL code?
    What do we check if SUBSTR and LENGTH functions are being used in PL/SQl code?
    What all other methods should I check?
    What do I check in PL/SQL if varchar and char type declarations exist in code?
    How do i check implication of database characterset change to AL32UTF8 for byte bases SQL function.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Rashmi

    There is no quick answer.  Generally, the problem with PL/SQL code is that once you migrate from a single-byte character set (like WE8ISO8859P1) to a multibyte character set (like AL32UTF8), you can no longer assume that one character is one byte. Traditionally, column and PL/SQL variable lengths are expressed in bytes. Therefore, the same string of Western European accented letters may no longer fit into a column or variable after migration, as it may now be longer than the old limit (2 bytes per accented letter compared to 1 byte previously). Depending on how you dealt with column lengths during the migration, for example, if you migrated them to character length semantics, and depending on how relevant columns were declared (%TYPE vs explicit size), you may need to adjust maximum lengths of variables to accommodate longer strings.
    The use of SUBSTR, INSTR, and LENGTH and their byte equivalents needs to be reviewed. You need to understand what the functions are used for. If the SUBSTR function is used to truncate a string to a maximum length of a variable, you may need to change it to SUBSTRB, if the variable's length constraint is still declared in bytes.  However, if the variable's maximum length is now expressed in characters, SUBSTR needs to be used.  However, if SUBSTR is used to extract a functional part of a string (e.g. during parsing), possibly based on result from INSTR, then you should use SUBSTR and INSTR independently of the database character set -- characters matter here, not bytes. On the other hand, if SUBSTR is used to extract a field in a SQL*Loader-like fixed-format input file (e.g. read with UTL_FILE), you may need to standardize on SUBSTRB to make sure that fields are extracted correctly based on defined byte boundaries.
    As you see, there is universal recipe on handling these functions. Their use needs to be reviewed and understood and it should be decided if they are fine as-is or if they need to be replaced with other forms.
    Thanks,
    Sergiusz

  • ChangePerm.sh file does not exist in Oracle 11g installation

    Hi All,
    I have done successful Oracle 11g installation. After installation I noticed that Oracle 11g/installation does not have changePerm.sh file. Did anyone of you seen that?
    Without executing changeperm.sh file, the binary files have 751 permission level. ChangePerm.sh script make change in file permission to 755.
    Oracle support is not answering me why there was no changePerm.sh file under Oracle_home/install directory.
    Thoughts/suggestions..
    Thank you
    Suresh

    I'm not finding this to be the case reliably. I have both a 10G and an 11G install on one particular machine and the 11G installer initially creates the directories with a 755 permission, then right before the prompt to run root.sh, and at the same time it locks down any 10G home it finds (someone please explain that!) it locks down the 11G home too.
    In true Murphy tradition, this hasn't happened on any of my testing machines, just my production.
    Whatever silly contrived mechanism Oracle wrote to re-lock 10G when installing 11G is also locking down my 11G.

    And for data manipulation, append "N" the literal values being used in the command.
    The "N" indicates that the string is to be treated as Unicode Text.
    For Example: insert into TableName (ColumnName) values (N'ValueToBeInserted');

  • Can Oracle 11g RAC support 2 separate databases?

    1. Can Oracle 11g RAC support 2 separate databases given that it asks for SCAN ip for cluster with a single Listener port number?
    2. Will the Oracle 11.2 database connections work successfully if I setup a mandatory DNS server within the Oracle RAC servers?
    I'm leading a team for a 11g project and appreciate responses.
    Thanks
    Satish.

    No Real Application Cluster technology has ever supported more than one database.Quite untrue.
    I know that both you and Tom Kyte take the stand that a cluster should have only 1 instance per node.
    That doesn't mean that it is not possible to have more than one database in a cluster -- i.e more than one instance in a node.
    That doesn't mean that it must always be so. Installing a separate cluster and additional EE + RAC licences for a separate database can be quite expensive. Of course, your reply is "consolidate". That is another debate that has been going on for years.

  • 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.

  • Change Database Character Set to Arabic!

    Dear All,
    My database is Oracle 11gR2 On Linux platform.
    I am trying to change the character set of my database to store Arabic characters.
    This is what I am doing:
    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 CHARACTER SET INTERNAL_USE AR8ISO8859P6;
    SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    STARTUP;
    When i check:
    SQL> select value from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
    VALUE
    AR8ISO8859P6
    But still when i query data it shows it like this:
    "¿¿¿¿¿¿ç ¿¿ê ¿¿¿¿çê¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿èê¿ ¿¿¿è¿ ¿¿¿¿ê¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿â¿¿ ¿¿é ¿¿¿ è¿¿¿ ¿ê ¿¿¿¿ êè¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ 28/9 ¿ê ¿ ¿¿é ¿¿¿¿ ¿è¿¿ê èç¿¿¿ ¿è¿¿¿ âê¿¿ ¿¿¿ è¿¿â¿ ¿¿è¿"
    Can you help me to understand where is the problem and how to get through it.
    Regards, Imran

    Why on earth are you using the undocumented INTERNAL_USE command? The name alone should strongly imply that this isn't something that normal users should be playing with. It is extremely likely that you've corrupted your database.
    Do you have a backup of your database taken before you corrupted it? If so, can you restore that backup? Once you do that, tell us what character set you're starting with. If you are implying that there is existing data in the database, what character set is that data encoded with? Can you DUMP the data to verify this?
