Changing Oracle 10g caracter set

Hello !
I'm testing BI tools efficientcy on several databases.
One of my tests is on Oracle 10g XE , I downloaded and installed it.
It automatically creates an instance with Win1252 as caracter set.
For Cognos 8, I need to convert the instance ti AL32UTF8 caracter set.
I searched a lot and tried ALTER SYSTEM NLS_LANGUAGE = AL32UTF8,
but it is not accepted by the database engine.
Does someone know about changing the caracter set of a running instance ?
Would NLS_CHARACTERSET be more appropriate ?
What is the syntax for it ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Fred

For Windows, see this section in the Install Guide on how to choose the correct install file.

  • Generic query on documenting and maintaining schema changes -Oracle 10g

    Hi All,
    This is a generic query and i was not getting any particular forum here to put this for suggestions and help.i have put this in the documentation forum also but havent got any inputs.
    Could you all please advise a good and easy way I can store all db related stuff including every detail and minutest change done.
    I work as a Oracle-DB developer and it has been particularly difficult to keep track the changes very much.
    We have a Development pipeline(a code base for development),Testing pipeline(another code base-for Testing)
    and then comes Production Deployment(another one for clients)
    Presently,we have all our DDL,SQL,etc everything scripts stored in a sort of shared location but keeping them updated with every change done
    in any of the above pipelines is very difficult and I end up finding discrepencies between the stored versions and what is in Testing and Production.
    I typically spend a good deal of time doing comparing the entire scripts,schema changes to try to figure out what the right and latest version of a script should be.
    So,need your inputs on any particular free tool,best practises and good process for tracking easily and also maintaining db changes.
    --Thanks
    Dev

    The problem with most configuration management systems is that they were made for files, not database objects. Files such as dlls get replaced by the new version upon deployment, but database tables do not. Tables get upgraded with alter scripts. So if you want to maintain create table scripts, you need to upgrade them with every change, as well as creating alter table scripts.
    For a free configuration management system, see http://subversion.tigris.org/. Such software will also do file comparisons including version comparison.
    For comparing installation scripts to existing schemas, I would create a new schema with the installation script and then compare that new schema to an existing schema using the schema comparison feature in Toad or PLSQL Developer.
    Alternately, you can forget about maintaining installation scripts and just take an export without data from your production or test schema whenever you need to create a new installation. You can also extract DDL from prod using the dbms_metadata package. Embarcadero Rapid SQL was also good for extracting DDL.

  • Is there any futures like DMBS_RESULT_CACHE in Oracle 10G?

    Is there any web related futures available in Oracle 10G to set the procedure or Function output to web cache?
    Any oracle functions related to web logic would help me.
    Thanks

    Is there any web related futures available in Oracle 10G to set the procedure or Function output to web cache? I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean by "web cache" here? You can always manually cache results by storing the results in a package variable before returning them and have your functions and procedures check whether the result is already cached before recomputing it. Of course, that means that you have to manually manage the cache invalidation as well. But that's probably the closet thing to the result cache in earlier Oracle versions.
    Any oracle functions related to web logic would help me.Again, I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you talking about WebLogic, Oracle's J2EE application server? Or does "web logic" relate to "web cache" above?

  • Can Oracle 10g XE Database Name be Changed?

    Hi all,
    Oracle 10g Express Edition comes with a Database named XE.
    I would like to change the database named to something like ORA.
    Can this be done in Oracle 10g Express Editorion?
    If have you have done this, please let me know how to do it?
    - How to change Database Name from XE to ORA
    - set the listener configuration to listen to ORA.
    With my basic twidlings, I have come to a conclusion that Oracle 10g XE is does not support it as a feature.
    Thanks,
    Senthil

    In order to get the smaller footprint, XE has a few administrative limitations.
    Keep the name XE, or be prepared to have things in the admin tools and support environment break.

  • Character set error oracle 10g

    I have a 10g TARGET database with a single byte character set of western european and 9i SOURCE databse with multibyte character of UTF8 since the character sets are different to load data from 9i to 10g I am using national character set NCHAR columns on target database to store the multi byte data :
    this is the table i am working on loading
    CREATE TABLE RAN_TEST1_MDL
    ( MODEL_ID NUMBER(15) NOT NULL,
    PRODUCT_ID NUMBER(15) NULL,
    MODEL_CODE NVARCHAR2(540) NULL,
    ODM_CODE NVARCHAR2(900) NULL,
    MODEL_DESC NVARCHAR2(1200) NULL )
    tablespace csn_d_01 LOGGING NOCOMPRESS NOCACHE NOPARALLEL MONITORING
    The table is test table on oracle 10g database .
    This is the query I am running

    When I describe the source table SHLD_HIER_MDL ( on 9i oracle accesed thru a db link ) I get the following error
    ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
    I think ORA-29275 and ORA-01460 are correleted . Can anyone suggest what could be the cause for this ? Thanks

    Error:     ORA-29275 (ORA-29275)
    Text:     partial multibyte character
    Cause:     The requested read operation could not complete because a partial
         multibyte character was found at the end of the input.
    Action:     Ensure that the complete multibyte character is sent from the

    you can export the table and import on 10g.Rename the table,create your test table and use IAS.

  • Install oracle 10g on solaris 9 platform without setting noexec_user_stack

    Hi,
    I'd like install oracle 10g software on solaris 2.9 platform without setting noexec_user_stack parameter to 1.
    The problem is that i need install software before, for migrating product environment.
    I can write /etc/system file but i can't reboot system until several days.
    I will not start migration process until i reboot the system and parameter definitely set.
    Do you know if we will can have any kind of problem???
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your answer FZheng. But i will just install software. I will not start any oracle 10g process until i reboot the machine.
    I think that oracle software installacion should not be affected. Do you know if this parameter affect to compile softwere during OUI wizard progress???.
    Before going on migration process and start database i will sure that this parameter is correctly fixed.
    PD.: I couldn't read metalink reference that you've suggested becouse my metalink account have problem access in this momment. During all day i've been reeding metalinks docs without any problem until this momment, bad luck.
    In test environment i've installed oracle without this parameter and i've never had any problem. But this installation is more important than others becouse i ask you in this specialist forum.
    Thanks again !!!

  • Oracle 10g 2 - 10.2.0.2 Patch seti without instance

    Hi,
    I'm installing Oracle 10g 2 - 10.2.0.2.
    I installed base release 10g 2 and then i have installed the patch set 10.2.0.2 (Linux x86).
    It's a new installation, so there isn't an instance.
    When i use dbca to create the DB i receive the error
    ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced.
    So i think i should execute catupgrd.sql like described in readme of patch, but if there ins't an instance, how could i connect to the db as sysdba?
    Thanks!

    If you don't currently have any database, then you don't need to run the catupgrade script, this is meant only for databases so the data dictionary is upgraded on an individual basis. Just ensure you have properly applied the patchset against the right Oracle Home and ensure your environment variables are properly set.

  • Problem with Oracle 10g RAC VIP network setting at Solaris 9

    Dear All,
    I have tried to set up a Oracle 10g RAC Release 2.
    With OS solaris 9, and 2 nodes.
    The nodes setting as the following:
    nodes 1:
    Public address: 172.16.0.121
    Private address: 192.168.0.121, 192.168.1.121 (dual path for heart beat)
    nodes 2:
    Public address: 172.16.0.122
    Private address: 192.168.0.122, 192.168.1.122
    And i have assigned two IP adress 172.16.0.131, 172.16.0.132 as the VIP address for the
    RAC.
    And the following is the /etc/hosts file:
    root@shk01 # cat /etc/hosts
    # Internet host table
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    # public address
    172.16.0.121 shk01 loghost
    172.16.0.122 shk02
    # heart beat
    192.168.0.121 shk01-priv1
    192.168.1.121 shk01-priv2
    192.168.0.122 shk02-priv1
    192.168.1.122 shk02-priv2
    # VIP address
    172.16.1.131 vip-shk01
    172.16.1.132 vip-shk02
    But when i run the command "$ ./runcluvfy.sh comp nodecon -n shk01,shk02 -verbose"
    it shows the error:
    ERROR:
    Could not find a suitable set of interfaces for VIPs.
    Result: Node connectivity check failed.
    I did try to add the VIP address on bge0:1, as i using bge0 for the public address.
    Both nodes i did using the same interface name for it.
    Anyone have idea for me to check out the error?
    Also, I have other question about the raw device.
    As there is option for setting for ASM or raw device. If choosing raw device, does it mean that it just need to
    format the storage disk but without newfs it? And then the Oracle program will able to handle it?
    Thanks,
    Xentar

    You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
    Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
    So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
    Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

(Assuming 10g R2, 10.1.2.x, you would look under App Server 10g R2 docs at http://tahiti.oracle.com, click on the System Management tab, and look at Chapter 8 of the "Oracle Application Server >> Administrator's Guide"
