Database language and characterset settings
Hi to all.
In our company, we are trying to migrate oracle 11g r2 from Ms SQL Server 2000. Our old system has DB links with other MS SQL Servers.
Our new system will be working on 64 bit fujitsu machine with Oracle enterprise linux on it. The company is in Turkey by the way and and the collation of the server ( which has 32 bit processor ) that has to be linked to new oracle system is "Turkish_CI_AS". What would be the best choice for the region, language and the character set of the database or the server?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Gokhan
I would set the database character set to UTF8, which is a variable-length encoding mechanism. It uses between 1 and 4 bytes to represent any one of the million-plus Unicode characters. It has at least two characteristics that are very appealing: it is completely backward-compatible with ASCII formatted files and it typically results in the smallest encoded string.
You can use ALTER DATABASE SET CHARACTERSET UTF8 or the CSALTER script to convert your current database, but only provided your current character set is a strict subset of UTF-8, otherwise data corruption can occur. You set the database character set when you create the database. In most cases, you need to do a full export/import to properly convert all data to the new character set.
NLS_LANG=language_territory.charset. For Turkish I would suggest the following NLS_LANG environment variable:
TURKISH_TURKEY.UTF8

Language and settings (date format, °Celsius, metric ...)
Hello, again!
Since I apt-getted my debian again to dependencies-death, I decided to give arch a new try. As I am not trying to have nvidia, xfree, kernel26 etc on the system in one step, I am surprised to have xfree and gnome with gdm, while listening to keith jarrets cologne concert via totem just after an hour I started to install arch. Well.
What I really miss is some user-locales-wand. Where does arch read language and locale settings?
In debian, this stuff was placed in /etc/environment. Does arch behave the same way?
Since this is fixed on my machine, I feel lucky to have things like feet ore 39°F in the weather report.For system wide settings, you can add a script in /etc/profile.d:
# cat /etc/profile.d/lang.sh
LC_ALL=XXX
LANG=XXX
LC_MESSAGES=XXX
export LC_ALL LANG LC_MESSAGES -
Unable to find "Language and Region" link
Hi,
I am trying to customize language and region settings via my MySite using the below link. I spent an hour yesterday trying to find "Language and Region" link in the Edit Profile page, however, I could not. Is there a feature I need to activate
to see this link or enable something in Central Admin?
I only see Basic Information, Contact Information, Details, and Newsfeed Settings.
http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/sharepoint-2013/archive/2012/11/02/how-to-change-regional-settings-on-my-site-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
Any suggestions?Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you can't see the "Language and Region" link in mysite Edit Profile Page.
I suggest you can check if you have checked "Show on the Edit Details Page" in the Central Administrator ->Manage Service Application->User Profile Service Application->Manage User Properties->Language and Regions->All
child properties under Language and Region.
Thanks
Best Regards

Can external users change their language, time zone, and locale settings?
Hi,
We’re migrating our hosts from WebEx cloud to our on-prem solution right now (CWMS 1.5.1.323.A).
We’ve learned that CWMS 1.5 does not provide an online address book where hosts could customize language, time zone, and locale settings for their external attendees.
Do external users have any chance at all to change their language, time zone and locale settings individually?
Thank you,
HelgeHi Dejan,
"external users" are those participants, who do not have an LDAP account in our deployment, since they are not intendet to act as hosts: our stakeholders, partners, customers, clients.
It looks, as if these people would stick to the systems' default language / time zone / locale.
We are wondering if there might be a CWMS-component like this:
https://artcom.webex.com/cmp0307l/webcomponents/widget/preference.do?serviceType=MC&siteurl=artcom&target=Page&backUrl=%2Fmw0307l%2Fmywebex%2Fdefault.do%3Fsiteurl%3Dartcom%26service%3D1
to allow those "extenal" participants to make their adjustments.
Thank you,

DEAR ......
HII,
I HAD PROBLEM THAT I WANT MY DATABASE CHARACTERSET IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE..
ACTUALLY I M WORKING ON RUSSIAN PROJECT..
MY PROBLEM IS I HAD TO INSERT DATA IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND WHEN I FETCHED DATA
THROUGH FRONT END USING (FORMS 6I )IT SHOULD COME IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGES..
I DID THE FOLLOWING SETTING IN ORACLE..
IN NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETER I SET THE FOLLOWING
NLS_CHARACTER SET='CL8MSWIN1251'
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET='CL8MSWIN1251'
NLS_LANG=RUSSIAN
NLS_TERRITORY=CIS
AND IN THE REGISTRY OF ORACLE I SET THE FOLLOWING...
NLS_LANG=RUSSIAN_CIS.CL8MSWIN1251
BUT WHEN I INSERT RECORD THROUGH BACKEND IT TAKES JUNK CHARACTERS..
PLZ GIVE ME APPROPRIATE SOLUTIONDid you edit the init.ora parameter file? Things like the database character set cannot be changed merely by editing the parameter file. If you are on 9i, Windows-1251 is also not a valid national character set.
When you are connected to the database, try
SELECT *
FROM v$nls_parameters
WHERE parameter LIKE '%CHARACTERSET'When the database was installed, did you install the Russian language option? If not, things like SQL*Plus won't have the fonts to display the Russian characters.

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-11gThe 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).

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).

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?
Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

How can I change the ORDER of languages in the settings?
If German is not supported in Apps the iPhone obviously uses automatically the second language in the list of languages in the language settings. However, the second language is Chinese in my list, and I don't speak Chinese. How can I change the SECOND language into English?
I just found the solution myself: You switch the (standard) language to English, and then you switch back to German as standard language. After this, English is listed as second language (and not Chinese any more) and is used in case German is not supported by an app.
Very helpful, thanks for posting that! -
[SOLVED] After a crash, my languages and keyboard layouts are gone!
So my CPU hanged, I rebooted, unfortunatelly a lot of my personal (and perhaps system) files were corrupted. All my personal GNOME settings were set to default. I had to wipe out the entire ~/.config/dconf folder in order to regain the capability to customize everything again. So all was left behind was my keyboard layout. So I went to `Regions and Languages` and... all but the system language (English) options were gone, including the layouts!
I just reinstalled the groups gnome and gnome-extra, no to avail
What can I do?
edit: stupid me! The layouts were 'hidden' in the tiny window size of the thing!
