Arabic data garbage STG database

I migrate data from ODS database to STG database ,but arabic data displayed to target as ??????????????????????????
I need help please my friends

Ok, I'll write equally condensed as you (as this is a FAQ, and it always boils down to people not reading documentation)
Somehow, somewhere there is a mismatch between the client NLS_LANG, the characterset of the export, and the characterset of the target database.
As you couldn't be bothered to include any of them in your post, a more accurate answer is impossible.

Arabic data from Sybase database fails to display correctly in Crystal Reports XI

Post Author: shajad
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In Crystal Reports XI, reports created with a ODBC (SQL server) connection to a Sybase data source fails to show Arabic data correctly. Arabic data is stored in Sybase under character set Windows-1256, but fails to display as Arabic in Crystal Reports 10. Some junk values like 'ÕæÑÉÇáÓÌá ÇáÊÌÇÑí ÓÇÑíÉÇáãÝÚæá' appears in the report.
How can I resolve this issue? Please help me with a solution.

Hi Raju
Please let us know the following information:
- Exact version of Crystal Reports.
- The type and the version of the database.
- Connection i.e. ODBC, OLEDB or Native used to connect your database with Crystal Reports.
- Are you able to create and refresh newly created report using the same database?
- If you are using ODBC connection, please download the SQLCON32 test utility and try to fetch the data from the database using the query from the "Show SQL" from Crystal Reports and let us know the outcome.
Hope this helps!
Thanks

Oracle Driver For Arabic Data

hi all,
My problem is, in my oracle UI, i can write an insert statement and enter arabic data into my oracle database. But if i try to execute the same SQL statement from VB, the data goes all corrupted, and i cannot retrieve the arabic data in arabic format from the database. Am trying to find out, what driver i shud use so that i can update and retrieve arabic data from my database. When i give a select statement in oracle the data appears as ??????????. Please help.
Thankx in advance
Vinod Cherian

Vinod ,
Try setting the following custom command property for the provider.
myCommand.Properties("NDatatype") = True.
Also set the font of the text field in which you are taking the input
to Tahoma or some font supporting unicode.

This issue can be solved when you create the reports without needing to write any extra code. I haven't tested this solution because I don't have any data to test it against.First you want to make sure that you are using a UNICODE font which I'm sure you are probably already doing. Then to configure the "Right to Left" you can right click on any field and select "Format Text" or "Format Field". You should see a "Paragraph" tab. In there you can set the content to be "Left to Right" or "Right to Left". The button on the right allows you to make this setting conditional on a parameter value or something like that. I hope this helps. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

How to Load Arabic Data from flat file using SQL Loader ?

Hi All,
We need to load Arabic data from an xls file to Oracle database, Request you to provide a very good note/step to achieve the same.
Below are the database parameters used
NLS_CHARACTERSET AR8ISO8859P6
nls_language american
DB version:-10g release 2
OS: rhel 5
Thanks in advance,
Satish

Try to save your XLS file into CSV format and set either NLS_LANG to the right value or use SQL*Loader control file parameter CHARACTERSET.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/ldr_control_file.htm#i1005287

Arabic data shows Invalid characters

Hi,
Arabic data is stored in 9i database having US7ASCII character set. Our vendor application is displaying data in arabic correctly but when we try to query data then we are getting characters like
mMml aaEa_JQfdmGJ
Regards
Ahmer

I have tried to display data in ASP, SQLPLUS, SQL Developer & SQL Navigator. All of them are showing invalid except SQL Developer which is showing boxes.
I am only querying the data that is already present in database and vendor's application displaying correctly.
I tried with changed NLS_LANG but it did'nt works.
When I ask the application vendor, they replied me:
"Arabic Data can be viewed in Multibyte telnet clients like Putty, if UTF-8 text encoding is enabled, both in the client and Oracle. The character encoding should be set to UTF-8 only during download of data and then this can be viewed in the telnet client.
Normal single byte telnet clients cannot encode the same, and the arabic data will be shown as Junk characters. Else, the same can be spooled into a text file, opened in MS-Word with the character encoding set as UTF-8 format."
I have to generate report for wondows client.

Building a Oracle 10g db from the scratch for arabic data

I want to create a new db in Oracle 10g for storing the arabic data.
My client machine is Arabic Windows XP.
What are the steps that i will need to follow to make the db arabic supported.
What streps will be required if i choose to make it unicode supported?

Configuring the database character set to AL32UTF8 will allow the database to store any character that can be represented in the UTF-8 character set in a CHAR/ VARCHAR2 column. So that would allow you to store Arabic data in CHAR/ VARCHAR2 columns.
The client-side configuration that is necessary will depend on the sorts of client applications you are using. Normally, you would set the NLS_LANG to match the client code page, which is presumably one of the Windows code pages (probably Windows 1256 if you're using an Arabic install).

Arabic data export to PDF from Business Object 6.5

I have Arabic data in oracle 10g database.
In Business Objects 6.5 report, am able to see the Arabic data as well.
When I save the BO report as PDF, the report data in arabic appears as ?????
I serached all the documentation and scoured the web, but could not get much info.
How can I get to display the Arabic data in PDF format as well?

Hi!
PDF uses its proprietary fonts to generate and display the text and it displays ???? for the character which its unable to interpret from the available fonts directory. You may need to buy some language plugins from Acrobat and integrate it with you Reports Server, to enable your PDF to display Arabic Character. I had a similar problem with Barcodes dislay in PDF.

Arabic Data Migration

Trying to migrate Arabic data from sql server 2000 to Oracle 9i. Getting question marks for Arabic data in the target oracle database. Are there any settings in workbench related to language specific issues.

We are using 3 data base for the appllication developed in java.
One of our common table containing all the country location ( post code / zip ) details. Problem is that this details are insert to the data base using SQL*PUS or Sql command line available while installing oracle 10g / 10g express data base.
But when we run sql script with special characters like МП Летище Бургас ( Bulgarien )
INSERT INTO beoatlas2.OPTION(LANGUAGE,VERSION,TYPE,module,CODE,description,bemerkung,description2,description3) VALUES('DE','SCPRLD','122','ALL','BG001002','МП Летище Бургас','','','ext');
or Β΄ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΣ ( Griechenland - greece )
INSERT INTO beoatlas2.OPTION(LANGUAGE,VERSION,TYPE,module,CODE,description,bemerkung,description2,description3) VALUES('DE','SCPRLD','122','ALL','GR002002',N'Β΄ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΣ','','','ext');
it returns as ?????? marks . i set NLS_LANG to AL32UTF8 using command set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
then also it displaying as ???????
I need to insert these details properly in Linux and windows Os using sql command line .
Any sujections are appreciated . Its very urgent .

How can I clean all data in a database but keep all datafile still same nam

hi,
How can I get a easy way to clean all data in a database but keep all datafiles still same name and location just like a new created database?
dbca has two choice: create templet without datafile or with all datafiles but not empty datafiles.
thanks

What version is your database? DBCA in 10gR2 allows you to create a template from an existing database using only the structure. From DBCA
From an existing database (structure only)
The template will contain structural information about the source database including database options, tablespaces, datafiles, and initialization parameters specified in the source database. User defined schemas and thier data will not be part of the created template.

Can i insert data in my database from a web intelligence report?

if that's not possible,can I do it from a stored procedure based Universe or with a derived table? Does BusinessObjects in general allow me to execute statements to insert data in my database?

Hi Erika,
afaik it is not possible write back to database from web intelligence .
from dashboards with web services you can achieve this.

Refresh jTable after inserting new data into the Database

Hey all,
I'm using Netbeans 6.5 to create a Desktop Application which is connected to a Java DB (Derby).
The first simple steps were all very successfull:
Create the jTable and bind it to the Database => everything works fine. When the application starts it correctly shows all data from the database.
The problem starts when I try to insert new data to the database.
For that reason I've created textfields and a button "Save". When I press the button it successfully inserts the data to the database but they are not displayed in the jTable (when the application starts they are all there, they are not updated at runtime) . I've tried table.invalidate() and table.repaint() but they just don't work.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. But please have in mind that most of the code is Netbeans-generated and most of it not editable.
Many thanks in advance.
George

Once again you are right my friend. I jumped to conclusion way too fast, when I shouldn't. (Give me a break, I've been busting my head with this well over a week). The response I saw when I did that was that indeed a line is added to the jTable. Because I falsly set the index of the object to be added to be second to last the row appeared on the table, what I didn't see at the time was that the last one disappeared. Hmm...
A new adventure begins...
So after a few hours of messing around with it here are my observations:
1) It was not an observable list. When I add the new element with employeesList.add(newEmp); , the table gets notified but a get a bunch of exceptions:

... and a lot morewhich from my poor understanding means that the jTable succesfully notices the change but it is not able (??) to adjust to the new change. What is more interesting is that when I plainly add the element to the end of the list (without an idex that is), a blank row appears at the end of my Table. The weird thing is that I've bound the table to some text fields below it, and when I select that empty row all the data appear correctly to the text fields.
I tried going through:
                org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableList(employeesList).add(newEmp);as well as
                help = org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableListHelper(employeesList);
                help.getObservableList().add(newEmp);
                help.fireElementChanged(employeesList.lastIndexOf(newEmp));and
                obsemployeesList = org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableList(employeesList);
                obsemployeesList.add(newEmp);and I still get the same results (both the exeptions and the mysterious empty row at the end of the table
So, I'm again in terrible need of your advice. I can't thank you enough for the effort you put into this.
Best regards,
George
