Oracle repots with wrong letters/symbols

Hi,
My question isn't about IDS-reports, but it's related to reports and I don't know which other board around here is the right one. But maybe someone is using utf-8 or can tell me which board is the right one.
Okay: I'm running Oracle reports 9i using american_america.we8iso8859P1 at the moment. But there are some symbols in the pdfs which are not correct. In example the ", the euro-symbol and some more. What would be the right charset to display that?
Thanks for your help
Jens

It is possible to display both double quotes and the euro symbol under iso-8859-1. As you may be having other characters outside of iso-8859-1, you can try with utf-8

HELP: keyboard button outputs wrong letters/symbols

I just got a bootcamp windows 7 on my macbook pro. after doing this, i cannot seem to type the "~" key next to the number 1 key. instead of "~" it outputs "\" and "|" when pressed with shift.
has anyone encountered a similar problem or know how to fix this?
I do not know whether this problem has to do with the bootcamp, but it used to work before.

The best way to do this is to download Sharpkeys, an open source software available at http://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/
You don't need to install anything, just execute the .exe.
On the main screen, ADD a "rule".
In the window above, use the "Type Key" button.
Just press the ~` key on the top left of the keyboard and you will see the window above. This is the key code for this key, which is interpreted wrongly as |\ in bootcamp. Click OK.
You now have to choose the new mapping for this key, as in the next image.
Then click OK, and don't forget to write to the registry, using the button at the bottom right of the main "rules" window. Reboot and that's it.

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?
Maybe this is relevant: I bought iphoto from the German apple store but I now live in Italy. I have tried German credit card with German invoicing address and Italian shipping address. And I have tried Italian credit card with Italian invoicing address and Italian shipping address. The phenomenon is the same: shipping address appears in red and I am asked to fill in the mandatory fields (which turn red whatever I enter).

KarinavD,
what is the setting for the Print Products Store in the Advanced Tab of the iPhoto Preferences?
The country you select there has to match the billing address. And your billing address should match the country of your AppleID and credit card used with the AppleID.

Macbook Pro's keyboard is typing random letters/symbols- can't figure out- HELP!

OK, so everything was just fine, worked wonderfully, then I found my little chihuahua puppy walking on the keyboard, she is very tiny, so not heavy at all, & I caught it pretty quick... I DID see she may have had a little bit of wetness on the bottom of a paw, as there was a bit here or there, but it really wasn't much at all, and I was able to soak it all right up with a tissue, it really wasn't enough water, or in a bad enough spot, for me to worry at all about any damage being done- however- while trying to enter text in text edit, I realized that all the keys on my keyboard were either not responding at all, or typing completely random letters/symbols instead of the intended characters- for example, every time I'd type/press one single letter on the keyboard, one time, instead of that letter, it would type TWO completely different letters, like 'ht' , at the same time- so every "d" would produce "ht" over and over... sometimes it looks like hebrew or russian letters, I don't even know! So I'm pretty darn sure my puppy must have typed some crazy key combo that did, well, who knows what- I've tried looking this up here on these forums, for a couple days now, and thought that I maybe figured it out a couple of times, but nope- no luck. It isn't my language setting, my option key isn't stuck, I'm lost! I saw a couple people who seemed to know what they were talking about, who were trying to help others with similar problems, and they asked the person to enter "asdfg" into text edit, and to post what that produced instead of the "asdfg" so.... I planned on doing that very thing right now, but there seems to have been a new development- as now, when I go into text edit, none of my keys work/respond when hit- except for a few, the following keys in lower case ";" " ' " "/" "[" "]"
"\" "=" & "-" THEN, when I hit the following keys, here's what they type:
c= cde3
v= frv4
b= bgt5
n= hny6
m= jmu7
comma= ik8,
period= lo9.
Then sometimes, when I hit the 1 or 2 key, the letter "z" starts to type constantly filling up the whole text edit box, like, "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... & so on"
If anyone has any idea what is really going on here, PLEASE help me out- I love & need this laptop for work, school, etc. and right now, I am no where near an apple store, don't even have good phone reception up here- (on a mountain!) so I'm really hoping that someone can help me figure this out once and for all! THANK YOU for reading this lengthy post, & thanks in advance to anyone who tries to solve this mystery!

I should point out I was having a very similar issue with no known liquid coming in contact with the machine. The keys that were affected were close together: my e, d, and c keys would consistantly type weird combinations of characters, some of them very out there, stuff like ¥©þ®. An external keyboard would work fine.
After a few days it just stopped, and the only reason I can think of is that overheating was the problem. I was playing "cookie clicker" a game where you often leave the game running overnight, and I noticed that the fan was often working very hard and that the computer got pretty warm, even when leaving it on a hard surface. So after three days of symptoms I stopped playing that game and a day or two later everything was back to normal. My e, d, and c keys were inconsistant for the first 24 hours (sometimes worked, sometimes didn't), but now they're working working fine.

Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character

Hello,
I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
Does the width has to do anything with this?
I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, DB version 10g.
Can anyone please help me with the issue I'm having.
Thanks

This is what I believe

so http://machine:port/ is the port where
JBoss is running and
This should be the port that the report server is listening on

server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of
my oracle report server
so I call the above link in my current application
and the report would show up
Yes

that means (correct me if I am wrong) that my reports
would have to be deployed in OracleAS
Yes

I have to try all this yet as till this point I was
trying to run Oracle reports deployed in JBoss...
This may be possible, I am not sure.

Text with the letters of NO and TM sometimes display them as superscript.

On some web pages, words that start with the letters NO or include TM have part of the word displayed as superscripted. For example, if the sentance starts with the word None, then the No part of the word has the o raised and underlined like it is an abbreviation for the word number. A part number like STM32F103 will have the letters TM raised as if it were an abbreviation for the word trademark.
I've tried setting different fonts, and found that specifically setting a font while not allowing the site to override it avoids the problem. Unfortunately some sites use characters that I just can't identify, so I normally run with the option to allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of using fixed fonts.
On ebay, for one example, I have the problem with the superscripted characters. I've tried using Google Chrome as a comparison, and have found that the pages display correctly with Chrome but not with Firefox. Doing a Google or Yahoo search gives me a results page that does not have the superscripted characters.
Is there something I am missing in the configuration of Firefox that is causing this? I kind of need the sites to select their own fonts, because otherwise I end up with some very odd looking pages (even stranger than having NO or TM displayed wrong).

Using the inspector helped. What it showed me was that the Nimbus Sans L font was being used. While I had that font in the default/Type1 directory of /usr/share/fonts, it turns out that I also had a copy of that font (from somewhere) in my local ~/.fonts directory. Deleting the extra copy of the font corrected that problem.
To help me with that I used the fc-list utility and grepped it to the Nimbus font. It pointed me to the local .fonts directory for that specific font. All other fonts appeared in the /usr/share/fonts directory. I didn't even realize I had setup a local font back in 2012...
Thank you for pointing out to use the inspector. It gave me the information to duplicate the font problem with both Thunderbird and Libre Writer.

While typing keyboard starts typing wrong letters

I have checked my settings for my keyboard and have changed keyboards. I can open Pagemaker 7 & start typing, all's well. Then after a while it starts typing wrong letters & I can't use my short cuts. I also tryed reloading Pagemaker 7. I have run Malwarebytes, AVG, & Spybot. I can't find anything. It is also doing the same thing In Photoshop. It doesn't do it in any other programs besides Adobe.

I thought it was setup Default input language as English (United States).I checked and there was 2 other settings under keyboard besides US. United states-Dvorak and United States international. So I removed them. Also under Advanced Key Settings and Hot keys for imput languages - Switch between input languages was set up to work. I changed this to none. So far it has worked fine. Today is my long day at work so we'll see. Do you think that was it? How would that have gotten changed? I have done some windows updates recently that caused me problems with my display.

How to Unpivot, Crosstab, or Pivot using Oracle 9i with PL/SQL?

How to Unpivot, Crosstab, or Pivot using Oracle 9i with PL/SQL?
Here is a fictional sample layout of the data I have from My_Source_Query:
Customer | VIN | Year | Make | Odometer | ... followed by 350 more columns/fields
123 | 321XYZ | 2012 | Honda | 1900 |
123 | 432ABC | 2012 | Toyota | 2300 |
456 | 999PDQ | 2000 | Ford | 45586 |
876 | 888QWE | 2010 | Mercedes | 38332 |
... followed by up to 25 more rows of data from this query.
The exact number of records returned by My_Source_Query is unknown ahead of time, but should be less than 25 even under extreme situations.
Here is how I would like the data to be:
Column1 |Column2 |Column3 |Column4 |Column5 |
Customer | 123 | 123 | 456 | 876 |
VIN | 321XYZ | 432ABC | 999PDQ | 888QWE |
Year | 2012 | 2012 | 2000 | 2010 |
Make | Honda | Toyota | Ford | Mercedes|
Odometer | 1900 | 2300 | 45586 | 38332 |
... followed by 350 more rows with the names of the columns/fields from the My_Source_Query.
From reading and trying many, many, many of the posting on this topic I understand that the unknown number or rows in My_Source_Query can be a problem and have considered working with one row at a time until each row has been converted to a column.
If possible I'd like to find a way of doing this conversion from rows to columns using a query instead of scripts if that is possible. I am a novice at this so any help is welcome.
This is a repost. I originally posted this question to the wrong forum. Sorry about that.

The permission level that I have in the Oracle environment is 'read only'. This is also be the permission level of the users of the query I am trying to build.
As requested, here is the 'create' SQL to build a simple table that has the type of data I am working with.
My real select query will have more than 350 columns and the rows returned will be 25 rows of less, but for now I am prototyping with just seven columns that have the different data types noted in my sample data.
NOTE: This SQL has been written and tested in MS Access since I do not have permission to create and populate a table in the Oracle environment and ODBC connections are not allowed.
CREATE TABLE tbl_MyDataSource
(Customer char(50),
VIN char(50),
Year char(50),
Make char(50),
Odometer long,
InvDate date,
Amount currency)
Here is the 'insert into' to populate the tbl_MyDataSource table with four sample records.
INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
SELECT "123", "321XYZ", "2012", "Honda", "1900", "2/15/2012", "987";
INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
VALUES ("123", "432ABC", "2012", "Toyota", "2300", "1/10/2012", "6546");
INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
VALUES ("456", "999PDQ", "2000", "Ford", "45586", "4/25/2002", "456");
INSERT INTO tbl_MyDataSource ( Customer, VIN, [Year], Make, Odometer, InvDate, Amount )
VALUES ("876", "888QWE", "2010", "Mercedes", "38332", "10/13/2010", "15973");
Which should produce a table containing these columns with these values:
tbl_MyDataSource:
Customer     VIN     Year     Make     Odometer     InvDate          Amount
123 | 321XYZ | 2012 | Honda      | 1900          | 2/15/2012     | 987.00
123 | 432ABC | 2012 | Toyota | 2300 | 1/10/2012     | 6,546.00
456 | 999PDQ | 2000 | Ford     | 45586          | 4/25/2002     | 456.00
876 | 888QWE | 2010 | Mercedes | 38332          | 10/13/2010     | 15,973.00
The desired result is to use Oracle 9i to convert the columns into rows using sql without using any scripts if possible.
qsel_MyResults:
Column1          Column2          Column3          Column4          Column5
Customer | 123 | 123 | 456 | 876
VIN | 321XYZ | 432ABC | 999PDQ | 888QWE
Year | 2012 | 2012 | 2000 | 2010
Make | Honda | Toyota | Ford | Mercedes
Odometer | 1900 | 2300 | 45586 | 38332
InvDate | 2/15/2012 | 1/10/2012 | 4/25/2002 | 10/13/2010
Amount | 987.00 | 6,546.00 | 456.00 | 15,973.00
The syntax in SQL is something I am not yet sure of.
You said:
>
"Don't use the same name or alias for two different things. if you have a table called t, then don't use t as an alais for an in-line view. Pick a different name, like ordered_t, instead.">
but I'm not clear on which part of the SQL you are suggesting I change. The code I posted is something I pieced together from some of the other postings and is not something I full understand the syntax of.
Here is my latest (failed) attempt at this.
select *
from (select * from tbl_MyDataSource) t;
with data as
(select rownum rnum, t.* from (select * from t order by c1) ordered_t), -- changed 't' to 'ordered_t'
rows_to_have as
(select level rr from dual connect by level <= 7 -- number of columns in T
select rnum,
       max(decode(rr, 1, c1)),
       max(decode(rr, 2, c2)),
       max(decode(rr, 3, c3)),
       max(decode(rr, 4, c3)),
       max(decode(rr, 5, c3)),
       max(decode(rr, 6, c3)),
       max(decode(rr, 7, c3)),
from data, rows_to_have
group by rnumIn the above code the "select * from tbl_MyDataSource" is a place holder for my select query which runs without error and has these exact number of fields and data types as order shown in the tbl_MyDataSource above.
This code produces the error 'ORA-00936: missing expression'. The error appears to be starting with the 'with data as' line if I am reading my PL/Sql window correctly. Everything above that row runs without error.
Thank you for your great patients and for sharing your considerable depth of knowledge. Any help is gratefully welcomed.

Keypad Malfunctioning - Multiple or Wrong Letters on Press - Interuptions and Wrong Words on Swype

About 2 weeks ago my keypad stopped working or at least working as intended. Might have been from the latest update I am not sure.
ISSUES WITH STANDARD PRESS AND TYPE:
1. I tap a letter and it often types that letter 2 or more times instead of once.
2. I tap a letter and it often types the worng letter or a whole series of wrong letters.
ISSUES WITH SYWPE:
1. I will be using swype and in the middle of creating a word it just stops as though I have lefted my finger up when I haven't
2. I will swype and the word will be no where close using letter I never even came near.
Basically this happens on and off which is why I think it is a software issue rather than a hardware issue. If it was hardwear there would be a dead section or broken section of the screen. But one minute I can swype a word and the next minute I can't swype the same word. Same thing with press to type. I will press a letter and it works press it again and it won't and so on.
MY ATTEMPS TO FIX THE ISSUES:
1. I tried powering the phone on and off.
2. I tried turning off the phone and removing the battery.
3. I did a factory reset.
Does anyone else have any other suggestions the only other thing I can think of is trying to get Verizon to send me a replacement which I am sure won't be easy.?

Try this: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Multi-touch keyboard > Clear data. Then do the same thing for the Text messaging application.

Connect DB - SYS user with wrong password

Hi All,
A strange thing I have noticed with SYS user since Oracle 9i(never worked on earlier versions) is that I can connect to the SYS user as SYSDBA with wrong password as well! Please guide how to prevent this...
(I have searched for a solution online but was unable to find any :( )
SQL> CONN SYS/AAA@TEST AS SYSDBA
Connected.
SQL> DISC
Disconnected from Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL> CONN SYS/BBB@TEST AS SYSDBA
Connected.
SQL>
SQL> DISC
Disconnected from Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production*009*

There is nothing wrong and nothing should be, IMO, prevented.
When you log in to the server as an user in the dba group (Unix) or the ora_dba group (Windows), you are a power user and O/S authentication applies to you, and you don't need a password.
Logging in as owner of the software (oracle) all the time, what many DBAs do, is a bad idea anyway, as you can remove anyufile on O/S level.
Strategies to prevent this:
- make sure your account isn't in the groups I mentioned
or
- disable O/S authentication by editiing sqlnet.ora
Both procedures are documented.
Finally please note anyone who has root access can get around this easily.

Oracle AQ with Orion 2.0 application server

Hi,
I'm trying to use Oracle AQ/JMS as queue for a J2EE message driven bean running in an Orion 2.0 application server.
To connect the bean with the queue I have to configure a resource provider. By now, the only resource provider I found is the class oracle.jms.OjmsContext witch is included in the oc4j.jar file of oracles J2EE container.
So the question is, is there a way to use Oracle AQ as infrastructure for message driven beans with other J2EE servers then Oracles OC4J?
Thanks in advance.
Alexander Schulz

Tanks 327 for your reply.
I think you got me a little wrong (because of my poor english).
I hoped that somebody can tell me if there is a java library (jar) that I can use to use Oracle AQ with Orion 2.0 for message driven beans.
I'm wondering why the class OjmsContext is only availiable in the main jar of the Oracle J2EE container. I think it would be very usefull to have an extra library containing all the stuff needed to use AQ with other application servers.

Problem with updating oracle DB with java date thru resultset.updateDate()

URGENT Please
I am facing problem in updating oracle database with java date through resultset.updateDate() method. Can anybody help me please
following code is saving wrong date value (dec 4, 2006 instead of java date jul 4, 2007) in database:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT myDate FROM myTable");
rs.first();
SimpleDateFormat sqlFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
java.util.Date myDate = new Date();
rs.updateDate("myDate", java.sql.Date.valueOf(sqlFormat.format(myDate)));
rs.updateRow();

I believe you should use yyyy-MM-dd instead of yyyy-mm-dd. I think MM stands for month while mm stands for minute as per
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
(If this works, after spending so much of your time trying to solve it, don't hit yourself in the head too hard. I find running out of the room laughing hysterically feels better).
Here is a more standard(?) way of updating:
String sqlStatement=
"update myTable set myDate=? where personID=?"
PreparedStatement p1= connection.prepareStatement(sqlStatement);
p1.setDate(1,new java.sqlDate());
p1.setInt(2, personID);
p1.executeUpdate();

Uninstall Oracle Culster (RAC) & Oracle Database with Raw File System (LVM)

Hello,
I have configured "Oracle RAC" with "Database" on Hp Unix 11.23 Platform. The shared storage is based on "raw" file system,which has mounted through "SAN" Storage. We have used total 18 LV (logical volumes) for oracle & clusterware.
By mistaken, I have configured wrong "Public, Private IP Address & Virtual IP Addresses" during RAC installation,thus my oracle "crs" is not working perfectly. So, is it possible to modify the "public,private & Virtual" IP Addresses? If Yes, provide me the step by step modification link.
Moreover, I would like to know certain steps to uninstall entire "Oracle Clusterware & Database." Kindly do the needful the "uninstallation" steps & is it necessary to remove & recreate LVM partitions, on which "oracle crs & database" has installed?
Advanced Thanks,
Nishith Vyas

Hi,
You haven't told anything about version...
By mistaken, I have configured wrong "Public, Private IP Address & Virtual IP Addresses" during RAC installation,thus my oracle "crs" is not working perfectly. So, is it possible to modify the "public,private & Virtual" IP Addresses? If Yes, provide me the step by step modification link.BTW, this thread has information that can drive You to this change:
Re: Is it possible?
Moreover, I would like to know certain steps to uninstall entire "Oracle Clusterware & Database." Kindly do the needful the "uninstallation" steps &Again... No versions, but You this thread can drive You to this
How to cleanup / remove RAC installation (CRS,RDBMS,ASM)
is it necessary to remove & recreate LVM partitions, on which "oracle crs & database" has installed?I don't think so. If all steps on uninstalling procedure don't work, You'll can try "zero" the information on the raw device using dd.
Hope it helps,
