Database characterset and National Characterset

Hi,
I am asking a basic question here in this forum.
What is a Database Characterset and what is National Characterset? I did google, but did not get too much of help.
Thanks
-Neel

When looking for basic Oracle terms or concepts, better reference the source directly.
Via http://tahiti.oracle.com you'll find the Globalization Support Guide. Relevant chapter to begin with is 2 - Choosing a Character Set.
Simply put, database character set is for "char" data types and national character set is for "nchar" data types.
For most applications the latter is never needed and current recommendation is to choose AL32UTF8 for database character set, which basically makes national character set i.e. unicode data type solution obsolete. See chapter 6 in the same book for more information.

Issue with database characterset

Hi All,
Database Version:11gR2
Developer complained that they are trying to insert Japanese characters and they are able to insert but while displaying its not actually dispalying Japanese characters. So i checked the database characterset.
SELECT * FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P15For 'Japanese' i know that the characterset required is AL32UTF8. The above one supports French i believe.
So here are my questions.
1. Is there anyway i can insert and view Japanese characters properly in the above characterset database?
2. Is there anyway i can change the characterset of the database(i believe we cannot, but just confirming it)
3. If i create AL32UTF8 and import the database from above characterset, will that work?
Thanks,
Arun

2. Is there anyway i can change the characterset of the database(i believe we cannot, but just confirming it)Yes but this may require a lot of work.
see approaches in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch11charsetmig.htm#CEGDHJFF.
3. If i create AL32UTF8 and import the database from above characterset, will that work? Yes: should be easy with Data Pump.

Changing the Database characterset

Hi,
My oracle 9i database characterset is AL32UTF8.
I wanted to change this to UTF8 for some testing purpose...
After few days i need to reset this characterset back to AL32UTF8.
how should i proceed on this?
Plz adivice.....
Regards,
Ashok Kumar.G

Thanks Pierre Forstmann,
In metalink i found out the following
In 9i you can't simply use "ALTER DATABASE CHARACTERSET" to go from
AL32UTF8 to UTF8 because UTF8 is a SUB-set of AL32UTF8
(some codepoints which are correct in AL32UTF8 are not known in UTF8)
So you will run into ORA-12712 if you try alter database ....
I hope this makes sense when the database contains data.
suppose if i drop my schema(now the database has no user data) and try to change the database characterset from AL32UTF8 to UTF8 will it impact any other?
and after changing to UTF8 can i import the user data again (say from export file which was taken from a UTF8 database) ?

I had the same error and it turned out to be an issue with the domain name specification. I have a single node install on a computer not on a network. But it had been part of a domain earlier. I took it out of the domain and followed the instructions posted by Srinath Nanduri in his post 'Steps for **SUCCESSFUL** installation of 11.5.9 on Windows' - Steps for **SUCCESSFUL** installation of 11.5.9 on Windows

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

Hello,
I have used the Character Set Scan utility (csscan) Version 1.2. I have attached the report results below.
To convert the character set instead of export/import, can I simply do
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET ja16euc;

Hi there.
I had encountered the same hanging problem at "Performing database characterset conversion adsvdcnv.cmd" (On Microsoft Windows Server 2003 - - XEON PROCESSOR - a staging area installation - rapidwiz ver 11.5.9.22 - . ).
What i did is that i installed the JDK version : 1.4.2.04 instead of 1.3.1 and reinstalled the product. So the installation completed successfully..

[urgent] oracle character set and national character set !!(dictionary)

Hi. everyone.
What is the oracle dictionary that contains information of
oracle character set and national character set?
I checked v$database, but there was not the information.
It seems that there are some differences between "nls_* " init parameters
and the database character set.
"Alter database backup controlfile to trace" gave me the character set of db,
but I would like to know whether there are oracle dictionary regarding them.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
Best Regards.

I found the dictionary which contains the information of character set and
natiional character set of database.
select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET';
Thanks for reading.
Have a good day.
Best Regards.

Full database import and export

Hi,
i performed full database export and want to perform full import please suggest me how to perform full import..

Oracle will change the data to the db characterset on import. This can be good or bad depending on what you have and what you want. So, what do you have and what do you want? Don't forget to check logs you should be keeping with these utilities. Edit: original exp/imp states the characterset in a log, expdp I guess you need to look at the 3rd line in the dump file. Don't edit dump files, if you are on unix you can use the strings command. It would help if you told us the exact version, patch set and platform you are on.
Also, see the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/toc.htm]Globalization Guide.

Upgrade ERP database 11g and ATG7 with SSO integation

Please let us know how to Perform Upgrade ERP database 11g and ATG7 with SSO integation .
Regards .

We have completed to upgrade ERP database from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 and also apply ATG 7 on Test instance.
And user finish testing , there is no issue after upgrade and application can work as normal.
On Test instance we didn't implement Single Sign On
But on Production we have Single Sign ON.
Now we plan to upgrade on Production instance. But we afraid that we will found any issue on Production relate to SSO. Becase we don't have a chance to test it.
My question is:
Are there any spacial step we need to do if we have implemented SSO After upgrade DB 11g and ATG 7?

Difference in select for update of - in Oracle Database 10g and 11g

Hi, I found out that Oracle Database 10g and 11g treat the following PL/SQL block differently (I am using scott schema for convenience):
DECLARE
  v_ename bonus.ename%TYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT b.ename
    INTO v_ename
    FROM bonus b
    JOIN emp e ON b.ename = e.ename
    JOIN dept d ON d.deptno = e.deptno
   WHERE b.ename = 'Scott'
     FOR UPDATE OF b.ename;
END;
/While in 10g (10.2) this code ends successfully (well NO_DATA_FOUND exception is raised but that is expected), in 11g (11.2) it raises exception "column ambiguously defined". And that is definitely not expected. It seems like it does not take into account table alias because I found out that when I change the column in FOR UPDATE OF e.empno (also does not work) to e.mgr (which is unique) it starts working. So is this some error in 11g? Any thoughts?

It seems that my question was answered here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2736426/difference-in-select-for-update-of-in-oracle-database-10g-and-11g

The behaviour seems like it really is a bug and can be avoided using non-ANSI syntax. (It makes me wonder why Oracle maintains two query languages while dumb me thinks that this is just a preprocessor matter and query engine could be the same).

Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs

What version was the old library made with?
What is the exact message? when it hangs does it crash or do you have to force quit?

Application doesn't work after build (database toolkit and report gen toolkit).

I wrote an application using database toolkit and report gen toolkit to retrieve some data from a database, put into a Word doc, save the Word doc and print it. It works fine when I run the vi, but when I build and run it, it does nothing. I have tried all of the settings in Projec Manager that I think might help but it still won't work right. Labview 8.2.1, XP.
Thanks,
Charlie
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the help. I finally abondened the Word append table and used the regular report gen append table and got it to work fine. The error was 214682314. That led me to the thread about column numbers must vbe between 1 and 63, but like I said, my coulumn number is 7 so don't know what is going on. Anyway I got the vi to work and do what I want so I guess now the problem is solved (moot).

Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files. Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks

Thanks Kurt! I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close. I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank. In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well. Thanks for your help!

SQL Server 2008 R2: which version of Visual Studio do I need to keep database projects and SSIS projects in the same solution

I need to build a solution containing a database project and an integration services project for SQL Server 2008R2. Apparently, the subset of Visual Studio tools that comes with SQL Server 2008R2 does not include database projects and does not have
Team Foundation Server support. Because of those limitations, I am trying to determine which version of Visual Studio will allow me to:
1. Build a single solution that includes both a database project and an Integration Services project
2. For the database project, be able to import a database schema from an existing SQL Server 2008 R2 database, do schema compares and update the project from the database and vice versa
3. For the Integration Services project, be able to deploy the packages to SQL Server Integration Services on SQL Server 2008 R2 (that is, to the msdb database).
4. Use Team Foundation Server for source control of the whole solution, including both project types.

Hi G Britton,
To build a solution containing a database project and an integration services project for SQL Server 2008 R2 and use Team Foundation Server for source control.
You can choose to install Visual Studio 2008.
And as you want to utilize Schema compare and/or Data compare functionalities in Visual Studio, you will need to install the
Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition or Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite.
In addition, for Visual Studio issues, I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Visual
Studio forums to get better support.
Reference:
Team Foundation Version Control
Compare and Synchronize Database Schemas
Interoperability and Coexistence (Integration Services)
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
