Can't read some national characters.. instead $..&.. please help!

Hello Gurus,
How can I read national characters?
There is a table imported from mssql database and when I run a query it doesn't disply national characters.. instead it displays symbols like that... $.. etc..
Do I have to change characterset (which, how?) or nationalcharacterset to do that, or is there an other way?
Please help me understand this because it is confusing..
Regards!!!

Try setting NLS_LANG environment variable on the Client. Do the following :
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters
  2* where parameter in ('NLS_LANGUAGE', 'NLS_TERRITORY', 'NLS_CHARACTERSET')
SQL> /
PARAMETER                      VALUE
NLS_LANGUAGE                   AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY                  AMERICA
NLS_CHARACTERSET               WE8ISO8859P15
SQL>                                                                             then at OS level set NLS_LANG as follows (Linux syntax) :
$ export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15
of course change values with yours. On Windows :
C:\> set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15

  • I can't read a Object from file, Please help me

    i want to write a Object into File. this is code of Object
    class objStoreCus implements Comparable, Serializable
    String customerID = new String();
    String customerName = new String();
    String customerEmail = new String();
    objStoreCus(String cusID, String cusName, String cusEmail)
    customerID = cusID;
    customerName = cusName;
    customerEmail = cusEmail;
    objStoreCus(){}
    public int compareTo(Object o)
    objStoreCus oS = new objStoreCus();
    oS = (objStoreCus)o;
    return(customerEmail.compareTo(oS.customerEmail));
    private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream s) throws IOException {
    s.defaultWriteObject();
    private void readObject(ObjectInputStream s) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    try
    s.defaultReadObject();
    }catch(IOException ie){throw new IOException();}
    catch(ClassNotFoundException cnt){throw new ClassNotFoundException();}
    And I was wrote above Object into File by this code :+
    FileOutputStream fos;
    ObjectOutputStream oos;
    FileInputStream fis;
    ObjectInputStream ois;
    public void writeObjToFile(objStoreCus obj)
    try
    fos = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3", true);
    }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
    try
    oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
    //ghi doi tuong vao file
    oos.writeObject(obj);
    //dong stream
    oos.close();
    fos.close();
    }catch(IOException ie){}
    But i can't read above Object from file. allway have a Exception occur "StreamCorruptedException".
    this is code read Object form file :
    *parameter is ArrayList will be store Object from file.
    public void readObjFromFile(ArrayList al)
    try
    fis = new FileInputStream("Exrcise3.ex3");
    }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
    try
    ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
    while(true)
    try
    objStoreCus osc = new objStoreCus();
    osc = (objStoreCus)ois.readObject();
    System.out.println(osc.customerEmail);
    }catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    //System.out.println();
    break;
    ois.close();
    fis.close();
    }catch(IOException ie){}
    }

    Problem lies in
    os = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3", true);
    You are trying to append to that file, You should always use new file to serialize objects.
    os = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3");
    Try with above line.

  • My CDROM can`t read some dvd after changing windows

    hi,i have hp probook 450 g1 , i had windows 8.1 but i had some problems so changed my windows and install windows 8.1.1 i install all of my drivers but after i change my windows the CDROM can`t read some DVDs specially DVD9 and the sound of CDROM is changed and it`s strange for such this DVD that it can`t read it reads them some times , but most of the time can`t read , it make me crazy , please help me 

    Hi Yolanda,
    the error message is inside a popup: (French trnaslation) "Windows media Player encountered an error and will close." I have the choice beetween "CLOSE" and "HELP ON THE WEB".
    Of course the "help" is totally useless....
    I don't see any troublshooter related to "media player". The only troubleshooter where I can choose Media player is for the "compatibility mode", so it's not helpful. On the "audio and devices" troubleshooter I see "read
    a DVD with Windows Media Player", but that's not my case.
    I've already done the last step. I copy the MP3 from my second computer to the "problematic" one, and I can't read my file. But, on the second computer, i can read this MP3 so the issue is ONLY when I try to read this file with my Windows session.
    (in the same computer, with the administrator session, I can read all the files).
    To put it in a nutshell:
    on computer A logged as CEDRIC i can not read the mp3 called SUPERSONG (it's an example lol)
    on computer A logged as administrator, I can read the SUPERSONG
    on computer B logged as CEDRIC (other local account but same name) I can read the SUPERSONG mp3 that is present in the music Library (that is not the same file, but it's a file with the same name, and of crouse this is the same song). (all my MP3 are copied
    from computer A to computer B in case of failure on one of the computers)
    on computer A logged as CEDRIC, if I do a
    \\computerB\c$\...\SUPERSONG I can not read it.
    I know this is complicated to explain, but if I ask to the Microsoft community that is because I don't know what to do ;) ;) ;) 

  • HT1338 I am trying to register my Appliances and when I try to click on "Save" or "Submit" I am unable on my MacBook pro. I have tried different browsers yet still same problem.  Can anyone shed some light on this please.

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • I bought an ipad from some one and i can't activate it and it keeps on showing that i should type the apple id and password link to that ipad which i dont know and i can't even locate thi guy. Please help if there is a chance to activate the ipad. Thanks.

    There is no chance at all that you can activate the iPad without the previous user's Apple ID and password. That is the feature of iOS 7 Activation Lock.
    Every time I read one of these post, I can't help but think that the user asking about this (in this case - you) was duped into purchasing a stolen device. If the seller was legit, they would have erased the device completely before they sold it.

  • I can't read some pdf documents on my computer

    I can't read some pdf documents on my computer with the Adobe Reader X programme.
    Sometimes i can read old documents, but in the last months sometimes is possible and sometimes it's impossible.
    My OS is a windows 7. I just disinstalled and reinstalled the Adobe Reader X programme but the problem persist.
    Some can help me?

    Hi Aquila,
    Can you please try opening this PDF in your browser: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf
    If you are seeing the same blank PDF, then I suppose that you are not having the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e 10.1.4 or it can be that the browser is being used in 64-bit mode. Please use 32-bit mode of your browser.

  • How can we read some bytes from every line of the file

    How can we read some bytes from the every line of the file moving on to the next line
    without using the read line

    Actualiy readLine() takes more execution time
    for reading a part of line if we can do so without
    readLine() we can save some time...Well, if you knew, beforehand, the length of each line, you could use RandomAccessFile and its seek method, but, since you don't, you would have to read the rest of the line character-by-character, checking to see if it is a newline, in order to place the "cursor" at the beginning of the next line in order to read the next few characters you want.
    So, as you can see, you will need to read the entire line anyway (and if you do it yourself you also have to do the checking yourself considering all three possible end-of-line sequences), so you just as well use readLine().
    Some people may suggest Scanner and it's nextLine() method, but that also needs to read the rest of line (as evidenced by the fact that it returns it), so that is no different than the readLine() (or read it yourself) solution.

    Hey Davidl678,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

    Thanks,

  • I Can't open the attechment in mail with latter open , acrobat reader , ... . Please help me

    Atfer the upgrade os of my ipad to 6 . i can't open the all of attechment in LATTEROPEN  program & Acrobat Reader & other app.
    PLease help me. how can i open it ?

    I my case there is no button - I can't even scroll down. But I also don't get any error message, especially not "domain error 912".
    If I try to open the .mov file the screen shows the movie-progressbar (where you can normally scroll through the video) for half a second and then the screen goes gray. In the middle of the gray screen I can see the file name and the text "QuickTime-Film" (german version) and the file size. Underneath is a "play-button" (with no reaction if I click on it) and the buttons for forwarding the movie and the button for airplay. No "Download full message"-button.
    Seems that we are having different problems with more or less the same result. Again, it only seems to happen with mail which was sent through MS Exchange and it started with IOS 7.1. Therefore I don't think that we can fix it but I hope that someone from Apple is "listening".
    My fault! I misunderstood your posting - I was looking for a "download full message"-Button on the screen AFTER clicking on the movie icon. But you meant the mail itself - and there I found it. Thanx! That also explains why small mail went through without problems but larger didn't.

    click on the store tab on the top left of iTunes.  Scroll to where it says "Authorize this computer...".  Click on that and enter your apple id and password then click authorize.  The reason iTunes says that your computer needs to be authorized is because it is to be sure that iTunes knows can trust your new computer

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
