Characterset Al32UTF8 Issue

Hi,
Our db is set with Character set as "AL32UTF8" and are storing multi-language data. Taking Greece data as sample
data stored as below in the DB
First Name Last Name
?S?????S G?O?G??S
Can anybody guide me on how to store this data properly?
Thanks,
Parthy.

Hint: use dump() function to verify what's actually stored in the database.

  • Data not viewable in table using Control file  CharacterSet AL32UTF8

    i have a flat file which contains Chinese characters and English Characters
    I have to create a control file, to insert the data in this flat file to the Table
    The characterset i am using in my control file is AL32UTF8
    When i use this characterset the data is getting loaded into the table,but i am not able to view the Chinese characters.
    i am able to see some Upside down question mark symbol
    Please help me of how to view the chinese characters into the table
    Is that any other characterset i have to set in Control file

    NLS_LANG is an environment variable. I'm assuming you're on Windows, so it's probably something like
    Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables
    Given that you're using Toad, though, there may be someplace there where you set the character set. There is a discussion on Eddie Awad's blog on how various tools can be made to display Unicode data
    http://awads.net/wp/2006/07/06/sql-developer-and-utf8/
    Some of the comments discuss Toad, though that's not a tool I'm familiar with.
    If you happen to be able to use iSQL*Plus, since that's browser based, it supports unicode natively. That's often the easiest solution.

  • Latin-1 Characterset Translation Issues

    I have an Oracle 9.2.0.5 database on OpenVMS 7.3-2. Currently, there are 101 incorrect Latin-1 to Latin-1 character set translations that are being loaded into my Oracle database (Incorrect OS conversion tables when data is transfered from source system).
    NLS DB parameters (nls parameters not listed are default values):
    nls_language string AMERICAN
    nls_length_semantics string BYTE
    nls_nchar_conv_excp string FALSE
    nls_territory string AMERICA
    example:
    Source Data : Résine de PolyPropylène
    Loaded in my database after OS translation: R©sine de PolyPropyl¬ne
    The invalid translations are happening external to the oracle database at the OS level. My problem is I need to correct all the invalid character sets that are in my database. The database is current 3.5TB in size, so I have to do this in an efficient matter. I know what the before (invalid translations values in HEX) and after (correct translations in HEX) values are.
    Is there a PL/SQL program or Oracle tool that can help me to correct these values against millions of rows of data in Oracle (Basically a characterset translation program)?
    I have a C program that works to convert the charactersets if they are in a CSV file. The problem is it takes to long to extract the data from oracle into CSV files for tables that are multi-millions of rows.
    Any help is appreciated.

    It looks like during the insertion from ASP the Latin 1 string has not been converted to UTF8. Hence you are storing Latin-1 encoding inside a UTF-8 database.
    I thought it would automatically be handled by OO4O.True. Did you specify the character set of the NLS_LANG env variable for the OO4O client to WE8ISO8859P1 ? If it was set to UTF8 then Oracle will assume that the encoding coming thru' the ASP page are in UTF-8 , hence no conversion takes place ..
    Also may be you should check the CODEPAGE directive and Charset property in your ASP ?

  • Database Characterset AL32UTF8  junk in forms

    Hi,
    I am facing weird problem in oracle forms 10gR2.
    recently, i changed my database character set to AL32UTF8
    I set forms env NLS_LANG TO = AMERICAN.AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    I tried with AR8MSWIN1256.
    I have following database field on my canvas.
    Remarks - Database field - Multiline - 2000 characters.
    when i save new record, all i can see is junk characters.
    Another weird problem is value of one field is getting into another field.
    I checked all my code, but unable to resolve mystry.
    any idea.

    i tried it with AMERICAN.AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    on a sample table p1(cd number, dscr varchar2(2000))
    and entered English and Greek and worked ok.
    chk your default.env in case you just altered your registry only.
    chk from sqlplus also to see if you experience the same behavior.
    keep in mind of the font used... for multilingual apps i think you must use
    arial or lucida
    lucida i've used in the past without problem on a multi lang app.
    my terst was made with 10gR2 forms (10.1.2.0.2)

  • Oracle 11g decode issue with null

    Hi,
    we want to migrate from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g and have an issue with decode.
    The database has the following character set settings:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET = AL32UTF8 in Oracle 11g and UTF8 in Oracle 10g
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
    If I try a select with decode which has null as first result argument I will get a wrong value.
    select decode(id, null, null, name) from tab1;
    ("name" is a NVARCHAR2 field. Table tab1 has only one entry and "id" is not null.)
    This select returns a value with characters which are splitted by 0 bytes.
    In Oracle 10g the value without 0 bytes is delivered.
    If I suround the decode with dump I get following results:
    select dump(decode(id, null, null, name), 1016) from tab1;
    Oracle 10g: Typ=1 Len=6 CharacterSet=AL32UTF8: 4d,61,72,74,69,6e
    Oracle 11g: Typ=1 Len=12 CharacterSet=US7ASCII: 0,4d,0,61,0,72,0,74,0,69,0,6e
    NLS_LANG has no effect on the character set of 'null' in Oracle 11g.
    Non null literals work:
    select dump(decode(id, null, 'T', name), 1016) from tab1;
    Oracle 10g: Typ=1 Len=6 CharacterSet=UTF8: 4d,61,72,74,69,6e
    Oracle 11g: Typ=1 Len=6 CharacterSet=AL32UTF8: 4d,61,72,74,69,6e
    select dump(decode(id, null, N'T', name), 1016) from tab1;
    Oracle 10g: Typ=1 Len=12 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,4d,0,61,0,72,0,74,0,69,0,6e
    Oracle 11g: Typ=1 Len=12 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,4d,0,61,0,72,0,74,0,69,0,6e
    Here the scripts for creating the table and the entry:
    create table tab1 (
    id NUMBER(3),
    name NVARCHAR2(10)
    insert into tab1 (id, name) values (1, N'Martin');
    commit;
    Is it possible to change the character set?
    Could you please help me?
    Regards
    Martin

    This doesn't have the problem.looks this doesn't solve the problem (of returning a value with characters which are splitted by 0 bytes):

  • Problem finding docs using content index in DB with different charactersets

    Sorry for duplicating thread from [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=653067&tstart=0]this thread in Oracle Text forum, but it seems quite slow compared to this one, so probably someone has some suggestion.
    Problem explanation:
    DB version 10.2.0.1 SE on windows
    database characterset AL32UTF8
    I am creating following context index:
    create index myindex on g(Content)
    indextype is ctxsys.context
      parameters('filter ctxsys.auto_filter
      section group ctxsys.null_SECTION_GROUP');With following query:
    SELECT distinct filename FROM g f
    WHERE contains(F.Content, 'latiinju') >0;I can find latin symbols in ansi, utf-8 encoded text documents and msword and msexcel documents.
    With following query:
    SELECT distinct filename FROM g f
    WHERE contains(F.Content, 'latviešu') >0;I can find latvian symbols in utf-8 encoded text documents and msword and msexcel documents, which basically is OK.
    However there is another unfortunately already production database
    10.2.0.3.0 SE on windows
    with characterset BLT8CP921
    and with index as defined above queries find absolutely nothing for both latin and latvian texts.
    As soon as I've added another column "cset" in the table and filled it up with AL32UTF8 I can find latin characters for the same cases as in db above.
    Index in this case is as follows:
    create index myindex on g(Content)
    indextype is ctxsys.context
      parameters('filter ctxsys.auto_filter
      section group ctxsys.null_SECTION_GROUP
      charset column cset');However the problem is that for latvian characters it can find only UTF-8 encoded text files, but not doc and xls files and that's absolutely not OK.
    I've tried also another charactersets in cset columns, but without any success.
    So the question is - is there any possibility somehow to create the content index that it is possible to find also latvian specific symbols in doc and xls files in DB with characterset BLT8CP921?
    Of course the ultimate solution would be to recreate db with AL32UTF8 characterset but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
    TIA
    Gints Plivna

    I have applied performance tuning steps, like JAVA_POOL_SIZE, SGA_MAX_SIZE, increase table spaces size and change some other DB parameters. After applied, problematic index has been created without error and application is running fine without any error. Many thanks for your prompt suggestion, by which I could narrow down my problem. So, as my problem has been resolved, so please close this thread.
    Regards,
    Farhan Mazhar

  • Conversion between AL32UTF8 and EE8ISO8859P2

    Hi,
    we have two databases: one with characterset AL32UTF8 and another one with EE8ISO8859P2. Is it possible to replicate data(online) from one DB to another and vice versa with data conversion but without data losing? Data-replication works through triggers and database links. Unfortunetly, I got wrong characters on both sides. For example instead of 'é'(in the UTF8 DB) I got '??'(in the EE8ISO8859P2 DB.) So I lost data. Could someone help me? Is there any solution or there is no solution at all?
    Thanks,
    Csaba Lenkey

    EE8ISO8859P2 supports only central and Eastern European data. Any data going from EE8ISO8859P2 to AL32UTF8 should convert properly if you have set up parameter correctly like NLS_LANG, etc. However data going from AL32UTF8 to EE8ISO8859P2 may not convert properly as there are many code points in AL32UTF8 that do not have corresponding binary values in EE8ISO8859P2.

  • SQL Loader and foreign characters in the data file problem

    Hello,
    I have run into an issue which I can't find an answer for. When I run SQL Loader, one of my control files is used to get file content (LOBFILE) and one of the fields in the data file has a path to that file. The control file looks like:
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'PLACE_HOLDER.dat'
    INTO TABLE iceberg.rpt_document_core APPEND
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    doc_core_id "iceberg.seq_rpt_document_core.nextval",
    -- created_date POSITION(1) date "yyyy-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss",
    created_date date "yyyy-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss",
    document_size,
    hash,
    body_format,
    is_generic_doc,
    is_legacy_doc,
    external_filename FILLER char(275) ENCLOSED by '"',
    body LOBFILE(external_filename) terminated by EOF
    A sample data file looks like:
    0,2012-10-22:10:09:35,21,BB51344DD2127002118E286A197ECD4A,text,N,N,"E:\tmp\misc_files\index_testers\foreign\شیمیایی.txt"

    The problem is that whan I run this, SQL Loader throws an error that it can't find the file. It appears that it can't interpret the foreign characters in a way that allows it to find that path. I have tried adding a CHARACTERSET (using AL32UTF8 or UTF8) value in the control file but that only has some success with Western languages, not the ones listed above. Also, there is no set of defined languages that could be found in the data file. It essentaially could be any language.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to somehow get SQL Loader to "understand" the file system paths when a folder and/or file name could be in some other langauge?
    Thanks for any thoughts - Peter

    Thanks for the reply Harry. If I try to open the file in various text editors like Wordpad, Notepad, GVIM, andTextpad, they all display the foreign characters differently. Only Notepad comes close to displaying the characters properly. I have a C# app that will read the file and display the contents and it renders it fine. If you look at the directory of files in Windows Explorer, they all are displayed properly. So it seems things like .Net and Windows have some mechanism to understand the characters in order to render them properly. Other applications, again like Wordpad, do not know how to render them properly. It would seem that whatever SQL Loader is using to "read" the data files also is not rendering the characters properly which prevents it from finding the directory path to the file. If I add "CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8" in the control file, all is fine when dealing with Western langauges (ex, German, Spanish) but not for the Eastern languages (ex. Thai, Chinese). So .... telling SQL Loader to use a characterset seems to work, but not in all cases. The AL32UTF8 is the characterset that the Oracle database was created with. I have not had any luck if I try to set the CHARACTERSET to whatever the Thai character set is, for example. There problem there though is that even if that did work, I can't target specific lagauages because the data could come from anywhere. It's like I need some sort of global "super set" characterset to use. It seems like the CHARACTERSET is the right track to follow but I am not sure, and even if it is, is there a way to handle all languages.
    Thanks - Peter

    Thank you.

    When looking at the strace file the Driver Manager tries to load the odbc.ini you specified in your gateway init file: set ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini
    but that fails as the oracle user can not access it - instead it tries to load a different file:
    17811 open("/etc/odbc.ini", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
    17811 open("/usr/local/unixodbc/etc/odbc.ini", O_RDONLY) = 8
    Could you please make sure that the oracle user can access that file?
    You also mentioned at the beginning that you could connect to the Postgres database using isql - did you do the test as "oracle" user and what ENV parameters have you set before opening isql?
    Just a minor issue which has no impact as your LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment is set correctly - the listener.ora file contains the line
    (EVNS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/unixodbc/lib:/usr/local/pgsqlodbc/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin)
    but EVNS should be ENVS or even better ENV. So please correct:
    (EVNS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/unixodbc/lib:/usr/local/pgsqlodbc/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin)
    to
    (ENV="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/unixodbc/lib:/usr/local/pgsqlodbc/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin")
    Then stop and start the listener.

  • How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

    Hi,
    Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
    Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
    The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
    Please help
    Thanks
    Shanil

    Hi,
    If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
    Heterogeneous Connectivity
    If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
    How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB     (Doc ID 191368.1)
    As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
    SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
    Hope it helps,
    Greg

  • SQL*LOADER ERROR WHILE LOADING ARABIAN DATA INTO UNICODE DATABSE

    Hi,
    I was trying to load arabic data using sql*loader and the datafile is in .CSV format.But i am facing a error Value to large for a column while loading and some data are not loaded due to this error.My target database character set is..
    Characterset : AL32UTF8
    National Character set: AL16UTF16
    DB version:-10g release 2
    OS:-Cent OS 5.0/redhat linux 5.0
    I have specified the characterset AR8MSWIN1256/AR8ISO8859P6/AL32UTF8/UTF8 separately in the sql*loader control file,but getting the same error for all the cases.
    I have also created the table with CHAR semantics and have specified the "LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR" in the sql*loader control file but again same error is coming.
    I have also changed the NLS_LANG setting.
    I am getting stunned that the data that i am goin to load using sql*loader, it is resided in the same database itself.But when i am generating a csv for those datas and trying to load using sql*loader to the same database and same table structure,i am getting this error value too large for a column.
    whats the probs basically???? whether the datafile is problemetic as i am generating the csv programmetically or is there any problem in my approach of loading unicode data.
    Please help...

    Here's what we know from what you've posted:
    1. You may be running on an unsupported operating system ... likely not the issue but who knows.
    2. You are using some patch level of 10gR2 of the Oracle database but we don't know which one.
    3. You've had some kind of error but we have no idea which error or the error message displayed with it.
    4. You are loading data into a table but we do not have any DDL so we do not know the data types.
    Perhaps you could provide a bit more information.
    Perhaps a lot more. <g>

  • JumpStartKit install hangs at 87% complete during database creation / instance configuration

    Hello folks, I'm wanting to evaluate Oracle WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.8 (huge improvement over 11.1.1.7, which I have already gave a quick try in the VDI provided by Oracle).
    So I found out about this Jump Start Kit, which installs each required piece once you've got a properly configured Linux environment. I had some fun with the prereqs but now that's all completed and I got SO EXCITED to make it past "STEP 4".
    So now I'm encountering the same issue during installation -- in STEP 6 of 22 Configuration of Database Instance (Completing Database Creation) it gets to 87% complete and then nothing seems to happen, it never gets beyond that point even if I wait 10 more hours:
    NOTE: I suspect my issue is not specific to the "Jump Start Kit", but rather it is something others have encountered during the Database creation/configuration step of the Oracle Universal Installer in general. And hopefully others have solved it.
    "/opt/oracle/portal" is my INSTALL_DIR ; I had launched the JSK installer with this command:
    ./runme INSTANCE_PASSWORD=apwd ROOT_PASSWORD=rpwd DOWNLOAD_DIR=/media/sf_Downloads/JSKfiles INSTALL_DIR=/opt/oracle/portal
    - The installer makes it this far, before it seems to get "stuck" -- even after many hours there is no change, HD is not doing anything, CPU stays at <5% usage:
    rtkit.main.JSKStarter - launchScript:172 - Tue Jun 10 15:41:38 MDT 2014: BEGIN STEP 6 of 22: Configuration of Database Instance. Estimated time is around 5 minutes. Please wait..

    I am using VirtualBox on Windows 7, I have tried it multiple times, first with the guest OS as Oracle Linux 6, and then Oracle Linux 5 (fun learning about updating the version of Java!).
    It always gets to the same point and then it just seems to do nothing -- no progress, but no error message on-screen (see log files below). But it seems to be using less than 5% CPU usage... and waiting 10 hours makes no difference.
    Based on what I found in tons of Google searching, I tried increasing my swap file, adding more memory and HD space (12GB RAM and 10GB sap and 20GB free hard drive space) but still nothing changed.
    In post #2 of this thread I will separately provide the logging details, which I hope will be helpful.
    Thanks in advance!
    Darren.
    PS: moderator, I attempted to create this thread in other Spaces because I did not know about this "Portal JSK" specific one -- was that why my thread was rejected? NO REASON WAS GIVEN. If that WAS the reason, I have to say that it will be nearly impossible for anyone who is able to help me to actually FIND this thread here because as I said I do not think it specific to ONLY the Portal JSK. (But I will post it only here just in case that's the reason for the previous rejections)

    First off, thank you very much for not just deleting the other 2 threads -- I intentionally created them in the other 2 spaces that MIGHT find a set of eyes that can help -- but in both I linked to THIS thread because this is the specific product. So this is the only place replies will be found therefore no "duplication" to worry about... but as I said this is likely not specific to PortalJSK since others on the internet have described a similar problem during the Oracle database installation.
    Second of all. here we go, the log contents...
    ...So in the hope that I could troubleshoot based on some error logging, I had a look inside "/opt/oracle/portal/db/OraInventory/logs/"...

    - "webtier_prereqs.log" and "ecm_prereqs.log" and "wcprereqs.log" all say that all tests passed.
    (Tests for HD and RAM space and swap size and # of processes etc. are all SUCCESS; and all required packages are installed and high enough version, etc.)
    - "/opt/oracle/run/logs/dbprereqs_log.txt" says this:

    Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /opt/oracle/portal/tmpdir/OraInstall2014-06-10_03-26-23PM. Please wait ...[WARNING] [INS-13014] Target environment do not meet some optional requirements.
       CAUSE: Some of the optional prerequisites are not met. See logs for details. /opt/oracle/portal/db/OraInventory/logs/installActions2014-06-10_03-26-23PM.log
       ACTION: Identify the list of failed prerequisite checks from the log: /opt/oracle/portal/db/OraInventory/logs/installActions2014-06-10_03-26-23PM.log. Then either from the log file or from installation manual find the appropriate configuration to meet the prerequisites and fix it manually.
    - "/opt/oracle/run/logs/wls-install.log" is the most confusing, maybe this is the reason for getting "stuck"?

    re. PROCESSES/TASKS at the ending:
    Also I had a look in System Monitor and noticed there a TON of processes ("Sleeping") that show up in System Monitor at this time of "freezing" or "hanging" or whatever you want to call it (where nothing is visibly happening anymore).
    -The most recent shell script is "install_db_instance.sh" (not surprising) with Waiting Channel "do_wait".
    #!/bin/bash
    export JSK_DIR=${PWD}
    . $JSK_DIR/setup_env.sh
    export ORACLE_HOME=$DB_ORACLE_HOME
    export ORACLE_BASE=$DB_ORACLE_BASE
    echo ""
    #$DB_ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -createDatabase -templateName $JSK_DIR/General_Purpose.dbc -gdbName orcl -sid orcl -sysPassword $SCHEMA_PASSWORD -systemPassword $SCHEMA_PASSWORD -emConfiguration LOCAL -dbsnmpPassword $SCHEMA_PASSWORD -sysmanPassword $SCHEMA_PASSWORD -datafileJarLocation $DB_ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbca/templates/ -storageType FS -datafileDestination $DB_ORACLE_DATA -responseFile NO_VALUE -characterset AL32UTF8 -obfuscatedPasswords false -sampleSchema true -oratabLocation ORATAB -recoveryAreaDestination NO_VALUE -silent
    echo "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -responseFile $JSK_DIR/dbca.rsp  -sampleSchema true -oratabLocation ORATAB" >> $LOGS_DIR/install_commands.log
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -responseFile $JSK_DIR/dbca.rsp  -sampleSchema true -oratabLocation ORATAB
    cat $JSK_DIR/dbca.rsp | grep -v -i PASSWORD > $JSK_DIR/dbca_saved_no_passwords.rsp
    rm -f $JSK_DIR/dbca.rsp
    echo ""
    -Immediately after that is "java" with this Command Line:
    /opt/oracle/portal/db/ohome/jdk/jre/bin/java -DORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/portal/db/ohome [parameters] -DJDBC_PROTOCOL=thin -mx128m -classpath /opt/oracle/portal/db/ohome/assistants/dbca/jlib/dbca.jar:[otherJarFiles]:/opt/oracle/portal/db/ohome/dv/jlib/dvca.jar oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca -silent -responseFile /opt/oracle/run/linux64/dbca.rsp -sampleSchema true -oratabLocation ORATAB
    -There are 7 named "oracleorcl" where the Command Line is simply "oracleorcl (LOCAL=NO)" or "oracleorcl (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))" -- Waiting Channel is "sk_wait_data".
    -There are 52 named "oracle" with various similar-looking Command Lines. The Waiting Channel for these varies: "poll_schedule_timeout", or "hrtimer_nanosleep", or "sys_semtimedop" (the 2 highest ProcessIDs -- aka most recent -- have this, with Command Line "ora_w000_orcl" and "xe_w000_XE").
    -There are 3 named "sqlplus", their Command Lines are "/opt/oracle/portal/db/ohome/bin/sqlplus -S -N" (the oldest 2), or "/opt/oracle/portal/db/ohome/bin/sqlplus" (the most recent) -- Waiting Channel is "pipe_wait".
