Is it possible to convert a DB of WE8MSWIN1252 characterset to AL32UTF8?

Yes it can be done..

  • Unable to migrate table, character set from WE8MSWIN1252 to AL32UTF8

    Hi,
    On our source db the character set is AL32UTF8
    On our own db, we used the default character set of WE8MSWIN1252 .
    When migrating one of the table, we get an error of this: ORA-29275: partial multibyte character
    So in to alter our character set from WE8MSWIN1252 to AL32UTF8, we get this error:
    ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET AL32UTF8
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set
    I would sure not like to reinstall the db and migrate the tables again. Thanks.

    See this related thread - Re: Want to change characterset of DB
    You can use the ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET command in very few cases. You will most likely have to recreate the database and re-migrate the data.

  • Change Oracle XE from WE8MSWIN1252 to AL32UTF8

    I want to change the character set of Oracle XE 10g on my machine from WE8MSWIN1252 to AL32UTF8. I understand I need to scan, change my NLS_LANG and export and them import into new XE with Universal character set.
    I need some more details to these steps if someone can help out.
    My current Oracle XE details:
    NLS_LANGUAGE - AMERICAN
    NLS_TERRITORY - AMERICA
    NLS_CHARACTERSET - WE8MSWIN1252
    I want NLS_CHARACTERSET to be AL32UTF8.
    Thanks,

    Hi everbody,
    Really OracleXE dont suport character convertion.
    But I get the binary CSSCAN from another Oracle 10g Enterprise and copy to server of XE in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
    With this, I copy also CSALTER.PLB and CSMINST.SQL to ?/rdbms/admin and now, I have the scripts.
    So, I run following the "howto" and read .log, .err and .out files generated from log=
    If you receive the message "Checking or Converting phrase did not finish successfully", check the .err file and drop the tables listed as "with error". After this, the process run without erros and YES, the database is CHANGED.
    I do this and I can afirm: this process works!

  • Database Characterset Conversion from AMERICAN to JAPANESE

    Hello
    We are creating a test environment from a database with NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1. This needs to be converted into Japanese characterset with NLS_LANG = JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16EUC
    As per my understanding, I need to first export the database, then create a new database with Japanese NLS_LANG, and then re-import it
    Could someone please confirm the steps please
    1. Do I need to change NLS_LANG before exporting the database?
    2. Can I run a database characterset conversion check before exporting db?
    3. Is there any other pre-cautions that I need to take

  • Characterset conversion from US7ASCII to WE8ISO5589P1

    Hi,
    I need to do a Character set conversion from US7ASCII to WE8ISO5589P1 on a 10g database. I need to make the proper analysis before doing this conversion. Kindly let me know of any links/urls/metalink note ids where i can find relevant docmentation and understand on this so that i can continue with the conversion.
    Regards,
    Amby.

    Also, consider migrating to WE8MSWIN1252 in place of WE8ISO8859P1. If you have Windows clients, then WE8MSWIN1252 should be used anyway. Even if you do not have Windows clients, WE8MSWIN1252 is a binary superset of WE8ISO8859P1 and can hold all WE8ISO8859P1 codes + ca. 15 characters more. It is better to use it in case Windows clients are used in future.

  • Characterset change from WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8

    Hi,
    I have restore the rman on new server oracle 11.2.0.3 (Previous backup was of oracle 10.2.0.4).
    Then I have successfully upgrade the database to oracle 11g but issue which I am facing right now is that the old database have the character set WE8ISO8859P1 which is now upgraded to oracle 11.2.0.3 database server.
    My required character set is AL32UTF32.
    Now is there any way that while restoring the rman backup of oracle 10.2.0.4 on new server I set the character set to AL32UTF32.
    Thank you for your cooperation.
    Kind Regards,
    Adnan Hamdussalam

    It means that either I have to change it before backup or after perform the full upgrade on new server oracle 11g and then convert the character set. Am I right?Yes, You are right.
    I think as you are changing from WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8, so you do not need any tool.
    Must read note,

  • Migratiom from WE8MSWIN1252 to al32utf8

    Hi
    I need to migrate my db from western Europe character set to a multi byte character set.
    I exported my data from 10g instance with WE8MSWIN1252 and then imported it to an 10g instance with AL32UTF8 and nsl_lenght_semantic = 'CHAR'.
    The VARCHAR2 fields and char fields are still defined as bytes.
    es. my_desc varchar2(100 byte )
    Then I need to convert all varchars and char fields definition to 'CHAR'.
    I know that I can perform this field by field using ALTER TABLE MODIFY.
    All my tables are defined into one schema, (mySchema.tab1, mySchema.tab2,...).
    so, I want to know if it is possible to do this conversion in one step?
    Thanks
    Mario

    es. my_desc varchar2(100 byte )Check your export dump. It could be that create statements etc. are using column length specified as 'byte'.
    Metalink/MOS might have some Note that documents possible supported workarounds.

    Changing the characterset of an existing database/application is not a trivial task - will require thorough planning and testing.

  • Characterset conversion from WE8ISO8859P1 to UTF8

    Hi All,
    While running CSSCAN utility from WE8ISO8859P1 to UTF8 after running 8-9H, the process is going to sleep state.
    We need to complete this task in next 1week of time.Can any one share why this is happening.
    Thanks,
    Sekhar

    There is a Metalink note on [Bug 6460895 - CSSCAN may hang / run slowly|https://metalink.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html#tab=Home(page=Home&id=fm2z4pjj()),(page=KBNavigator&id=fm2z4vd6(&viewingMode=1141&userQuery=csscan%20sleep&searchControl=1146))] that looks to be vaguely related. This indicates that the bug was fixed in 10.2.0.4, but unfortunately the bug itself isn't published, so it is rather hard to know if this is your problem or not. It would probably be worth logging a support request to see if Oracle support can determine whether or not you're being affected by this bug.
    Meanwhile, can you apply the 10.2.0.4 patchset and see if that solves the problem?

  • CSSCAN in 11g - Characterset not changing from WE8IMSWIN1252 to AL32UTF8

    All,
    We have installed a 11g database in Linux box and once after that we wanted to change the character set to AL32UTF8 from default WE8MSWIN1252.
    We took the cs-alter approach and ran cs-scan utility, upon going through csscan.txt files generated by csscan utility we found that there are no lossy data but convertible data was found in data dictionary. Below is the output from csscan.txt

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------We followed few metalink documents *Solving Convertible or Lossy data in Data Dictionary objects reported by Csscan when changing the NLS_CHARACTERSET [ID 258904.1]* and found that we are good to go as convertible was found only in data dictionary and that too CLOB data. But while running csalter.plb csalter came out without changing the characterset. We ran the following query given the said document and it returned no rows which again confirms there is no problem and go ahead with running csalter.
    SELECT DISTINCT z.owner_name
    || '.'
    || z.table_name
    || '('

    /Sorry to have made the thread so big but to make sure and give a complete picture of the issue pasted the csscan contents. Request the PRO's to help us in this issue.

    You have convertible data in the application tables. CLOB or not, such data prevents csalter.plb from changing the character set.
    You are on 11.2.0.3, so use the DMU (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/globalization/dmu/overview/index.html). It can cope with such data.

  • ORA-01461 while importing from UTF8 to AL32UTF8

    Hello All,
    Source Env: 9i on Solaris
    Dest Env: 10.2.0.3 on Solaris 10
    We have a table in a UTF8 database(9i).
    While trying to import it into a AL32UTF8, it terminates with
    IMP-00058: ORACLE error 1461 encountered
    ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
    IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: 9170 rows rolled back The table has a column with LONG datatype.
    Is this error because of the characterset conversion ?
    TIA,
    JJ

    Srini,
    I checked that already.
    This table does not have LOB datatype. Only NUMBER,VARCHAR2,DATE and LONG.
    Moreover, i tried with and without pre creating the table. Both ways result in this error.
    TIA,
    J J
